Ingredients
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.3333333333333333 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter.
Step 2
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a microwave-safe 6-inch dish or ramekin to form the crust. Set aside.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a whisk or hand mixer.
Step 4
Add 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and continue to beat until fully combined.
Step 5
Mix in the egg and sour cream, beating until the filling is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix to avoid air bubbles.
Step 6
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Place the dish in the microwave and cook on medium power (50%) for 4-5 minutes, checking every minute after the 3-minute mark. The edges should be set, and the center should still be slightly jiggly.
Step 8
Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled and firm.
Step 9
Slice and serve as is, or top with your favorite fruit sauce or whipped cream for added flavor.
