How do you make a Single Serving Mug Cheesecake in the Microwave?
If you can, allow the cream cheese to soften on the counter before using. If you didn’t plan ahead and have time, just heat it in a microwave safe bowl for 20-30 seconds.
Once the cream cheese is ready and soft, in a separate bowl combine it with sugar and egg and beat until smooth. Then, set aside.
Get a microwave safe mug (or bowl) and sprinkle crushed graham cracker crumbs in the bottom.
Top the graham cracker crumbs with the cream cheese mixture.
Heat in the microwave for 75 to 90 seconds, until the filling is slightly puffed up.
Place the mug in the refrigerator for 45 to 60 minutes, until it’s chilled.
Eat and enjoy!
