How to Make Microwave Yogurt Cheesecake

PIN IT

Step 1 – Prepare the Base (Optional)

If using a crust, press crushed biscuits or oats into the bottom of your mug or ramekin.

Step 2 – Mix the Batter

In a bowl or directly in your mug, combine:

• Greek yogurt
• Cream cheese
• Sweetener
• Vanilla
• Egg

Whisk until completely smooth and creamy.

Step 3 – Microwave

Microwave on medium power for 1½ to 2 minutes.

The center should be slightly soft but set — it will firm up as it cools.

Step 4 – Cool Slightly

Let it cool for 5–10 minutes. You can also chill it in the fridge for a firmer cheesecake texture.

Step 5 – Add Toppings

Top with berries, jam, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of honey or peanut butter.

What to Serve with Microwave Yogurt Cheesecake

This little cheesecake pairs beautifully with:

• Coffee or espresso

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture
• Mix batter very well to avoid lumps

• Chill for best cheesecake consistency
• Use a wide mug for even cooking
