Sunday Recipes with Margi Kyle – Microwave Cheesecake in a Mug.

Sometimes a little cheesecake is just enough. This single-serving dessert cooks in the microwave, then chills until it’s ready for a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs and fresh berries.

Recipe source: Adapted from Betty Crocker’s Upside-Down Mug Cheesecake for Sunday Recipes with Margi Kyle. This version is served in the mug with berries and crumbs on top.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces regular cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons fat-free liquid egg product
• 1½ teaspoons heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ¾ teaspoon all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon crushed graham crackers
• A few strawberry slices and blueberries

Directions

1. Lightly grease the bottom of a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug.
2. Whisk the cream cheese, egg product, and cream until smooth. Stir in the sugar, flour, and lemon zest. Pour the mixture into the mug.
3. Microwave uncovered at 50% power for 1 minute 30 seconds. Check it, then microwave in additional 10–20 second intervals if needed. The edges should be set and the top nearly set; the center may still look slightly glossy.
4. Let stand for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
5. Top with the graham cracker crumbs and fresh berries just before serving.

Serving Tip: Chill the cheesecake before adding the toppings. The crumbs will stay crisp, and the berries will look their best
