Categories     Dessert

Time 7m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ounces low-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons egg whites, slightly beaten (egg whites in a carton work fine)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch (prevents liquid from forming)
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chip
1 tablespoon jam, of choice swirl in (not stir)
1 tablespoon crushed graham cracker
1/2 teaspoon melted unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a 1 cup or larger microwave proof mug, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy with a small whisk. Mix in the sour cream, sugar, egg, lemon juice and cornstarch. Whisk about 2 minutes until light. Alternatively, the mixture may be mixed in a small bowl with a hand held electric mixer and then poured into the mug. Add any "mix-ins.
  • Microwave on medium for 2 1/2 minutes* (in a 650 watt microwave). Since microwave powers are different, you may need to experiment. You want the center to just start to bubble, and then stop cooking. 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 microwave. Take out of the microwave and let cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until fully chilled, about 1 1/2-2 hours. If any liquid has formed, carefully pour out.
  • Sprinkle with mixed graham cracker mixture and top with any topping of your choice.

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 7m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (or a mixture) or 1/2 cup gingersnap crumbs (or a mixture)
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 lime, zest of
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice or 2 tablespoons key lime juice
1 egg
1 tablespoon potato starch (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine crumbs with butter and 1 tbsp sugar; stir until sandy in texture. Divide between two pint-sized Mason jars or large coffee mugs. Pack crumbs down into bottoms.
  • Stir remaining ingredients together until smooth. Divide between vessels. Place in microwave for 2 minutes on high (if your microwave does not have a rotating plate, turn vessels 90° after 1 minute). Continue to cook for 30-second intervals until the tops appear dry.
  • Transfer to refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. The top will develop a dimple as it cools; top with a dollop of whipped cream to cover it up.

Tips:

  • Use a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin for baking the cheesecake. A 9-inch pie plate will also work.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cheesecake. Overcooking can cause the cheesecake to be dry and rubbery.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly and develop its flavor.
  • Serve the cheesecake with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.

Conclusion:

Microwave cheesecakes are a quick and easy way to enjoy this classic dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious cheesecake that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you are craving a cheesecake, give this microwave recipe a try.
