Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1.5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
In a small microwave-safe mug or ramekin, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Mix well and press down evenly to form the crust layer at the bottom.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, lime juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no lumps.
Spoon the creamy mixture over the graham cracker crust in the mug or ramekin, spreading it out evenly.
Microwave on high for 1 minute. Check to see if the cheesecake is set; if not, microwave for an additional 15-second increment until firm but not overcooked.
Allow the cheesecake to cool for 1–2 minutes before serving. Optionally, chill it in the refrigerator for a creamier texture.
Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a small lime wedge, if desired. Enjoy your quick and delicious lime cheesecake!
