This week on Jaime’s Lazy Late Night Cooking Corner, the show where I whip up last-minute single serve microwave treats every Thursday while wearing my robe, get your night-cheese on with Single Serve Microwave Cheesecake in a Cup. I adore all things made with cream cheese, so this easy take on cheesecake is pretty much my ideal midnight snack. So far in our series, we’ve made Single Serve Microwave Rice Krispy Treats, Microwave Blueberry Cobbler in a Cup, Microwave Strawberry Shortcake for Two, a Microwave Lemon Bar, and even a Microwave Cinnamon Roll. Now it’s time to watch the video above and learn how to make yourself a delectable little cheesecake. And laugh at me in my robe.

Microwave Cheesecake in A Cup Recipe

1 egg
1/2 tsp lemon juice (or just one wedge lemon)
1/4 tsp vanilla
2-4 tbls sugar
2 tbls sour cream or yogurt
Crumbled graham crackers.
How to Make Microwave Cheesecake in A Cup
In your serving dish, ramekin, or mug, combine cream cheese, egg, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, and yogurt (or sour cream).
Mix together really well.
Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir.
Microwave another 30 seconds. Stir.
Microwave for another 30 seconds.
Sprinkle crumbled graham crackers on top.
Let cool for at least an hour.
Eat.
Great idea! Only problem is that I don’t have a microwave… Can this be done in a toaster oven as well?
I don’t think the microwave is necessary. I only use the microwave for heating the cheese enough to get it to mix evenly with the other ingredients. Otherwise it’s very chunky. You might even make this in a small sauce pan. (SMALL so you have less to clean, it’s hard to get warm dairy products off of dishes!)
I modified this recipe. I don’t use the egg or the lemon, and I use greek yogurt, and laughing cow cheese instead of cream cheese. I’m trying to be more health conscious and I am lactose intolerant.
This is such a great recipe. You can modify it also with chocolate chips, or other flavors to make different types of cheesecake. I also have made this one in a large casserole with strawberries on top for a potluck dinner and it was a great success.
also I put the graham crackers on the bottom for a low calorie graham crust.
Good concept anyone can make it easily please keep it uyp and posting new receipes.

Haven’t you ever heard of crediting your source?

You either got this recipe from that site, or somebody who got it there. Posting others recipes without giving credit is Not cool.
You’ve also obviously never heard of responding to your readers/comments. Bravo. I know one website I certainly won’t be following.
I think you didn’t get a reply because you are arrogant and rude. A simple link to the would suffice. I don’t think the person posting the recipe was trying to be malicious or forgetful. It just was an oversight and you could have put a friendly reminder, if anything.
Yes – a very rude couple of comments from princesswilly. Very uncivil. I wish there was more kindness on the internet.
It’s way different from the recipe in the link you posted. Obviously they didn’t copy. And, also, there are only a few ways you can make the basic cheesecake recipe and still have it be actual cheesecake, so get over it.
Thanks for posting this recipe. I am on a diet, but love cheesecake. A single serve is a perfect treat from time to time. I don’t care if it is posted from somewhere else or an original recipe, just that it is good and easy.
Princess, doesn’t the mean girl thing get old?
[…] right in your own Stone Wave! Did you know that you can cook cheesecake in your microwave too!? Pretty Prudent Blog’s Jaime’s Lazy Late Night Cooking Corner put up a recipe video on how to make Single Serve […]

I love the concept of easy. This is the first time I looked at this website. It doesn’t matter to me where the recipe comes from originally. My own I never post, people ask and I won’t give out my secrets. PrincessWilly needs to take a chill pill or get a life one or the other.

This had great flavor, just a quick question on the texture: mine came out of the microwave looking a little like scrambled eggs, does this mean I cooked too long? I’m using an 800 watt microwave.
Just cant wait to try this out.. looks so fab and easy
