Ingredients
- 8 tbsp cream cheese
- 4 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 4 tbsp sugar (some can be vanilla sugar)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp flour
- 8 tbsp cookie crumbs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter and press into the form as a base.
- Blend the cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, eggs, and flour until smooth; pour over the base.
- Microwave at 800-900W: 2 minutes first, open and rotate the form slightly, then 3 more rounds of 30 seconds.
- For a regular mug: 1.5 minutes first, then 2-3 rounds of 20 seconds.
- Cool before serving.
Tips
- Microwave in short bursts and check often — ovens vary, and the center should still wobble slightly when done.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before slicing so it sets into clean, creamy slices.
