Ingredients
- Chocolate wafers- For a twist, I used chocolate wafers in this recipe, but you can easily swap them out for graham crackers or any other cookie you prefer as the base.
- Cream cheese- Make sure to soften the cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing. Alternatively, you can use Mascarpone cheese for a different but equally delicious flavor.
- Sweetened condensed milk- It will impart a smooth and creamy texture to our cake, and you can adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
- Heavy whipping cream- Be sure to use cold whipping cream so it whips up easily and forms stiff peaks, giving your cheesecake a light and airy texture.
How to make 4 ingredients cheesecake under 10 minutes
- Crush the chocolate wafers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch round springform pan to form the crust, leave some for the topping. Set aside.
- Beat the cream cheese together with the whipping cream until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk while continuing to beat until well combined.
- Spread the cheesecake mixer over the crust. Smooth out the top.
- Sprinkle the remaining wafers crust on top. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Useful tips
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature before you begin. This will make it easier to blend with the other ingredients and ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Use Cold Whipping Cream: For best results, use cold whipping cream. This will help it whip up faster and form stiff peaks, giving your cheesecake a light and airy texture.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the filling before pouring it onto the crust. You can adjust the sweetness by adding a little more or less sweetened condensed milk according to your preference.
- Chill Thoroughly: Allow the cheesecake to chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This will help it set properly and make slicing easier.
- Crust Options: While chocolate wafers add a rich, chocolatey flavor, you can also use graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or any other cookies you like for the crust.
- Extra Crunch: For added texture, sprinkle some extra crushed chocolate wafers or your choice of cookies on top of the cheesecake before serving.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to get creative with flavors. You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a splash of lemon juice to the filling for a different twist.
