Microwave Cheesecake For One Or Two Recipes

5-MINUTE MICROWAVE CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small microwaveable ramekin. Tilt the ramekin to coat the sides.
• Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs, then add to the ramekin with the butter and mix well. With a spoon, press the crust evenly against the bottom of the dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, stirring until there are no lumps.
• Spread the filling on top of the graham cracker crust.
• Microwave for at least 4 minutes, 45 seconds at a time, at half power. Make sure the cheesecake does not bubble over the sides of the ramekin.
• Chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, until completely cool to the touch.
• With a knife, loosen the edges of the cheesecake, then invert onto a plate, or eat straight from the dish.
• Top with a few raspberries.
• Enjoy!

CHEESECAKE FOR TWO

Steps:

• For the crust: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 2 cups of a jumbo muffin tin with liners, and coat with cooking spray.
• Pulse the graham crackers, butter and sugar in a food processor until fine and crumbly (the mixture should hold together when squeezed). Divide the mixture evenly between the 2 liners, and press it into the bottoms and about 1/4 inch up the sides with your fingers. Bake until the crusts are slightly golden, about 8 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the filling: Wipe out the food processor. Process the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, egg, flour, lemon zest, vanilla and salt until smooth. Divide the batter between the 2 liners. Fill all the empty muffin cups about halfway with water. Bake the cheesecakes until they are just set in the center and just barely jiggle, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature in the tin on a cooling rack.
• Pop the cheesecakes out of the tin with the help of a large spoon, and refrigerate loosely covered until chilled, 4 hours up to overnight. Before serving, stir the strawberries and jam together, and top the cheesecakes with the mixture, dividing evenly.

• Stir remaining ingredients together until smooth. Divide between vessels. Place in microwave for 2 minutes on high (if your microwave does not have a rotating plate, turn vessels 90° after 1 minute). Continue to cook for 30-second intervals until the tops appear dry.
