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
- Prepare the Crust: In a small bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a microwave-safe mug to create an even crust layer.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Then add sour cream and all-purpose flour, mixing thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Assemble: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared graham cracker crust in the mug. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly for a neat presentation.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 30 to 40 seconds, or until the cheesecake filling is just set but still creamy. Avoid overcooking as it can cause the texture to become rubbery.
- Cool and Serve: Let the mug cheesecake cool for a few minutes to allow it to firm up slightly. Top with fresh fruit or chocolate chips if desired. Enjoy your quick and decadent mug dessert!
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
- Microwave cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave; adjust accordingly.
- Do not overcook the cheesecake as it continues to set while cooling and will firm up.
- You can customize the topping with your favorite fruits, nuts, or candies.
- Make sure to use a microwave-safe mug for cooking.
