What do you think this is? A delicious mug of sweet, sweet hot chocolate with whipped cream and cinnamon? That WOULD be good, but this is even better.
It’s cheesecake. Easy to make in individual servings and ready in just a few hours. Click the link for step-by-step instructions with pictures.
I like this because it’s a just-for-one recipe. I have a hard time justifying baking a whole pie or batch of brownies, knowing that I will eat half in the first day. This cheesecake is a lesson in portion control, 101.
Microwave Mug Cheesecake
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 white, slightly beaten (egg whites in a carton work fine)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch (prevents liquid from forming)
For “mix ins”, add 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips, or swirl in (not stir) 1 tablespoon jam of choice.
Graham Cracker Topping
1 tablespoon crushed graham crackers
1/2 teaspoon melted unsalted butter
Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a small bowl. Sprinkle on top of mug
cheesecake.
