How to Make 2 Minute Microwave Lime Cheesecake
- Combine 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs with 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
- Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Divide the crumb mixture evenly between two small (pint-sized) mason jars or large coffee mugs.
- Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of each jar/mug to create a crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon lime zest until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust in each jar/mug.
- Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, checking frequently, until the top appears set and no longer jiggly (this may take 1-2 additional 30-second intervals).
- Let the cheesecakes cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 1 hour to allow them to set fully.
- A slight dimple may form on top as it cools; this is normal.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream before serving for an extra touch of deliciousness!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
