Description

There are times when you need just a single serving of a dessert but you still want it to be delicious. This cheesecake is scrumptious, easy and quick to make.

Ingredients

• Cheesecake:
• 4 T. cream cheese spread or regular cream cheese, softened*
• 2 T. plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 1/2 T. granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, whisked
• 1/4 t. vanilla
• Crust:
• 4 T. fine graham cracker crumbs (process graham crackers in a food processor for fine crumbs)
• 1 T. butter, melted
• powdered sugar, for serving
• fresh fruit, for serving (like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)

Steps

1. Grease the inside bottom and sides of a microwave-safe mug. Add graham cracker crumbs and butter; stir until completely mixed. Press down on the crumbs with fingers to form a crust at bottom of the mug. Apply enough pressure so that the crumbs are tightly pressed together.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, cream cheese, yogurt, sugar and vanilla; mix until batter is smooth. There may be tiny lumps of cream cheese left, so get them as small as possible. Pour batter into mug.
3. Cover top of mug with a paper towel. Microwave for 1 minute at full power. The cake should be mostly cooked except for the center. Check cake. Microwave for another 20 seconds. Stop again, and microwave for another 20 seconds. Microwave for a final round of 20 seconds. The cake should be completely cooked. Don't microwave the cake for the entire amount at once because the batter may overheat and splatter.
