Oreo Microwave Cheesecake in a Mug
Description
The recipe combines softened cream cheese with sour cream or yogurt, sugar, vanilla, egg whites, and a small amount of flour to prevent excess liquid. The mixture is whisked until light and fluffy. Crushed Oreo cookies form the base at the bottom of a microwave-safe mug.
The cheesecake batter is then added on top of the Oreo base and microwaved to set the dessert gently. This method creates a creamy, smooth filling with a crumbly chocolate cookie crust. The dessert serves as a quick treat without needing an oven or long chilling times.
Since the base recipe makes three individual cheesecakes, the ingredients and microwaving instructions can be adjusted accordingly. The result is best enjoyed shortly after preparation to maintain texture and freshness.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese 115g, at room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream or yogurt, 8oz/225g
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 egg slightly beaten, white
- 1 tablespoon flour (prevents liquid from forming)
- 1/3 cup Oreo cookies crushed, 75g (21/5oz), extra for the base
Notes
- This recipe yields three individual cheesecakes; scale ingredients per serving.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Microwave times may vary; watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
- Additional crushed Oreo cookies can be added on top as garnish if desired.
