This Decadent Cheesecake in a Mug recipe offers a quick and easy dessert solution perfect for satisfying your cheesecake cravings in just minutes. With a buttery graham cracker crust and creamy cheesecake filling, microwaved to perfection, it’s an ideal single-serving treat that can be customized with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit or chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Topping (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh fruit or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a small bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a microwave-safe mug to form the crust layer.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and all-purpose flour, then mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Assemble: Pour the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in the mug. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
  4. Microwave: Heat the mug in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the cheesecake is just set. Be careful not to overcook, as the cheesecake continues to firm as it cools.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the mug cheesecake cool for a few minutes to set completely. Top with fresh fruit or chocolate chips if desired, then enjoy your quick and indulgent mug dessert!

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Adjust microwaving time based on your microwave’s wattage to avoid overcooking.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives.
  • The cheesecake is best enjoyed immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
