A traditional baked cheesecake takes hours to prep, bake and cool. With this convenient little recipe, you can have your own personal portion of cheesecake in no time. It takes just minutes to whip it together, pop it in the microwave, and let it chill in the fridge while you have dinner, and voila.

Then a few simple ingredients are mixed together for a super simple, creamy, dreamy cheesecake layer on top.
Pop it in the microwave, and you are just minutes away from baking up a perfect individual cheesecake, all for yourself.

Easy 3-Minute Microwave Cheesecake in a Mug
Yield: serves1
Ingredients
- 2 graham cracker sheets, finely crushed
- 1 tablespoon. butter, melted
- 2 oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese spread, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon of a beaten egg
Directions
Combine graham crumbs and butter; press onto bottoms of a microwave-safe mug (pre-spray mug with cooking spray if you want to remove cheesecake after baking).
Mix Philadelphia Cream Cheese with a fork until smooth (microwave it for a few seconds to soften and remove lumps, if needed). Mix in sugar, sour cream and vanilla until smooth and thick. Beat an egg in a separate cup and measure out 1 tablespoon of the egg. Add to cheesecake mixture and mix well, until fully incorporated. Pour over crumbs.
Microwave at 50% power for 1 min. If needed, cook at 50% power an additional 20-40 seconds until edges begin to set, but it is still a little wet and shiny in the center. Do not over cook. Cool for 10 minutes, before placing in the fridge to cool and set for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight.
