Microwave Crème de Menthe Cheesecake

Microwave Crème de Menthe Cheesecake

Ingredients:
16 ounces cream cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup crème de menthe
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 prepared crust
Chocolate sauce (optional)

Directions:
Place unwrapped cream cheese in a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl or casserole. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened.
Add sugar, flour, liqueur, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat with electric mixer at high speed until well blended. Cover with plastic wrap.
Microwave at MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until hot and thick enough to mound from spoon, whisking vigorously every 4 minutes to break up soft cooked area. (Mixture will melt to a shiny liquid, then thicken.) Pour into prepared crust.
For a soft, custard-like consistency, place cheesecake in refrigerator. Chill at least 3 hours.
For a firm cheesecake-like consistency, continue microwaving at MEDIUM (50%) for 10 to 13 minutes, until all areas are set and firm and top looks dry.
Serve with chocolate sauce, if desired.
