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.

Notes

Butter - You can use salted butter if you want, it will just change the flavor a bit in this microwave cheesecake.
Cook Time - Just know all microwaves cook slightly different so you might need to adjust the cook time as needed.
Refrigerating - Use a container that you can refrigerate the eggless cheesecakes. This will help protect the cheesecake from picking up other flavors in the fridge. If not in a sealed container it can taste different.
Mix in Ingredients - Mix in mini chocolate chips, swirl in some peanut butter, top with fresh fruit, etc. Have fun and create a personalized cheesecake to fit your flavor preference. Even swirling in some fruit jam is great.
Containers - You can make smaller portions of the cheesecake if you want to feed more people.
