CAUTION: Microwave until you see it start to
bubble in the center, and then stop cooking. This will take seconds, maybe 20 or
more. Take it out and check it. Microwave for short intervals until you see the
edge of the cheesecake firm but make sure the center is jiggly. If it is
allowed to bubble and cook further, the mixture will "break" and you'll
need to start over. Make a note of the successful cooking time for your
