An optional crust on the bottom, sometimes prebaked; a filling, which can be either savory or sweet; and an optional topping, such as fruit, sour cream, cookie crumbs, or chocolate. Microwave Cheesecakes are made up of two or three components layered in a special pan called a Springform or in a solid baking pan. Its filling should be handled as baked custard because it is made of egg protein and settles into a semi-rigid gel.
A Microwave cheesecake is essentially an unstirred custard baked in the oven, sometimes referred to as a flourless cake, although it can also be unbaked or generally shaped in a dessert ring with a springform pan, then simply refrigerated before unmolding. It is delicate to direct heat or overcooking when baked. Typically, a crackdown on the center is the outcome.
Although a cheesecake can be salty (and is frequently served as an appetizer with crackers), most of us associate the word with a decadent, sweet dessert. Depending on the ingredients and mixing techniques, the texture can range widely, from being light and airy to dense and rich to smooth and creamy.
