Commonly Asked Questions

Can I use crushed cookies instead of Graham crackers?

Yes! You can use Oreos or any of your preferred cookies as a base for this cheesecake recipe. Simply grind them finely using a mortar and pestle or a grinder. We recommend peanut butter cookies as well for an added flavor.

Can I make this cheesecake ahead?

Yes, you can. Make sure to keep your cheesecake refrigerated or frozen. Cream cheese has a relatively short shelf life, so it must be kept at low temperatures. If stored properly, this microwave cheesecake can last for a couple of days.
