Great idea! Only problem is that I don’t have a microwave… Can this be done in a toaster oven as well?

no microwave necessary

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.

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?

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.
