A neighbor gave me this microwave cheesecake recipe several years ago and jokingly said it serves one. We make it for a snack sometimes, but it’s yummy enough for potlucks.” —Susan Visser, Champaign, Illinois

20 20

Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
1/2 cup butter, melted
FILLING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips, divided

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cracker crumbs, sugar and cocoa; stir in butter. Set aside 3/4 cup for topping. Press remaining mixture into a greased 9-in. microwave-safe pie plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-2 minutes or until set.
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and milk until smooth. Add egg; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Spread over crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture and remaining chocolate chips.
Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-4 minutes or until a thermometer inserted near the center reads 160°. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate until chilled. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 8 servings.
