Simple Individual Microwave Cheesecakes

These are great for when you have a craving and they really hit the spot! They're the perfect individual serving size.

Ingredients (serves 1)

1 TBS Butter
5 Arrowroot biscuits, crushed
115g Cream cheese , softened
1 1/2 TBS Sugar
3-4 drops Lemon juice
Vanilla extract to taste
Blueberry or raspberry to serve

Method

Melt the butter in a small microwaveable mug or dish. Grease a ramekin with the melted butter
Crush the arrowroot biscuits into fine crumbs then mix it with the remaining butter (you may find you don’t need it all – so do a bit at a time until you have the desired consistency)
With a spoon, press the crust flat into the base of the dish.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, stirring until there are no lumps
Transfer the mixture on top of the biscuit crust and spread it evenly on top.
Microwave for at least 4 minutes, 30 seconds at a time, at 50% power. Make sure the cheesecake does not bubble over the sides. You may need to stop – start it if it looks as if it’s going to boil over and scrape the sides down
Chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, until it is completely cool to the touch.
With a knife, loosen the edges of the cheesecake then invert onto a plate, or eat straight from the dish.
Top with a few raspberries, blueberries and some dusted icing sugar if desired

The only thing I use a microwave is to warm up meals and I just think it’s weird to bake in it.

You would think this doesn’t even need to be microwaved.

Looks wonderful and I will try to adapt my other wanted cheesecakes to this as it will work for two people and one wouldn’t have to eat a helluv a lot to finish the cheesecake.
