Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat cream cheese Make sure it's softened for easier mixing.
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt Adds creaminess and a healthy twist.
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Use maple syrup for a vegan option.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For added flavor.
- 1 piece egg Can be substituted with a flax egg for vegan.
- 1/4 cup almond flour or graham cracker crumbs Use for the crust.
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by selecting a microwave-safe bowl or mug that’s large enough for your cheesecake mixture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a handheld mixer for about 30 seconds to get everything nice and smooth.
- Pour in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract, then blend for an additional 30 seconds.
- Beat the egg in a separate bowl until well blended, then slowly add it into your cheesecake mixture. Mix until everything is fully incorporated.
- If you’re using almond flour for the crust, mix it with a little honey and press it into the bottom of your microwave-safe bowl.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the base. Microwave on high for 1.5 to 2 minutes, checking for doneness. The cheesecake should be just set and slightly jiggle in the center.
- Let the cheesecake cool for a few minutes before enjoying it. You can refrigerate it for a more decadent taste or top it with your favorite fruits.
Notes
This cheesecake is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For freezing, portion it out, wrap in plastic, and place in an airtight container. It can last up to a month in the freezer. Reheat gently in microwave for about 10-15 seconds to retain texture.
