Microwave cheesecake is the ultimate dessert that serves two. An eggless cheesecake that comes together in minutes. The hardest part is allowing your mug cheesecake to set up in the freezer.
If you have not tried making a microwave cheesecake, you have not lived! This recipe is literally so easy to pull together. Graham cracker crust, thick cheesecake filling and topped with a fresh strawberry!
I created a dessert recipe that serves 2 or could be 4 if you split the cheesecakes in half. This is a simple and fast cheesecake recipe. This eggless cheesecake is always a hit in our home.
Ingredients Needed
- Butter
- Graham Cracker Crumbs
- Sugar
- Cream Cheese
- Vanilla
How Do You Make
Step 1: Start by melting your butter and mixing it with graham cracker crumbs. Place half the mixture in each of the two containers.
Step 2: Next, add your cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl and take to the microwave.
Turn microwave to 50% power and microwave for 3:30 to 4 minutes. You will stir every 25-30 seconds to ensure nothing burns.
Step 3: Remove the cheesecake batter, and pour half in one container followed by the other half. Spread out to make smooth.
Step 4: Wrap and store in the freezer for an hour. Remove and top with fresh fruit and dive in.
This is a great small cheesecake recipe for anyone who gets a craving but can’t eat a whole cheesecake.
Could I Swap Out The Cheesecake Crust
For sure! If you are not a fan of the classic graham cracker crust, feel free to improvise. Just break up cookies like Oreos, Vanilla Wafers, etc. Then use that to replace the Grahams in the crust.
It will still work the same and you might find you need a few extra or fewer cookies to make up for the graham cracker crust.
You just want enough to cover the bottom of the container and then be able to pack it down nice and tight.
If you are not a fan of cheesecake, you can even skip the crust if you would like. The crust adds a lot of texture but I understand if you don’t like it.
What To Use For Single Serve Cheesecakes
You can honestly make these single-serve cheesecakes in any container. I used glass Pyrex bowls to make mine. But, feel free to raid your container drawer and find a small bowl or container to make your cheesecakes in.

Microwave Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by melting 2 tablespoons butter in the microwave. Split the butter in between the two cheesecake bowls or mugs. Roll the butter around to help coat the sides of the container.
- Now add in your graham cracker crumbs. I just eye-balled it and split the crumbs between the two. Once it is all mixed you will pack down the graham cracker crust.
- In a new bowl add your cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.
- Microwave on 50% POWER for 30-45 second intervals, stirring between each time. It will start to make the cream cheese mixture nice and thick.
- Once you are done cooking, split the cream cheese mixture in between the two bowls. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and place in the freezer for 1 hour.
- Top your microwave cheesecakes with fresh fruit like I did, chocolate chips, etc. Then grab a spoon and dive in!
- Refrigerate your cheesecakes until you are ready to serve, and don’t allow them to sit out for more than 2 hours at a time.
