Strawberry Cheesecake in a Mug
Strawberry Cheesecake Mug Cake 1 Minute Mug Cakes Made in the Microwave (including Vegan, Egg-Free & Gluten-Free Recipes)
Ingredients
- 4 ounces (115g) low fat cream cheese,at room temperature
- 1 cup (8oz/ 225g) sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 egg white , slightly beaten (egg whites in a carton work fine)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon flour (prevents liquid from forming)
- 1 tablespoon jam of choice.
- graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy with an electric beater or hand whisk. Mix in the sour cream, vanilla, sugar, egg, lemon juice. Swirl in jam at this time.
- CAUTION: Microwave until you see it start to bubble in the center, and then stop cooking. This will take seconds, maybe 20 or more. Take it out and check it. Microwave for short intervals until you see the edge of the cheesecake firm but make sure the center is jiggly. If it is allowed to bubble and cook further, the mixture will "break" and you'll need to start over. Make a note of the successful cooking time for your microwave.
- Take out of the microwave and let cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until fully chilled, about 2 hours. If any liquid has formed, carefully pour out. Sprinkle with graham cracker mixture and top with any topping of your choice. Enjoy!

Hello Gemma,
Thank you for all that you do I dont have an oven and I use to bake a lot before and for 3 years I couldn’t and Thanks to you I can with your amazing recipes baking in the microwave has become fun and so much easy.
Ever so grateful ❤
I have made your mug cakes and they are absolutely brilliant.
Your a genius.
Just tasted my first mug cheesecake & it’s fantastic! Made it with yogurt and it has great flavor & texture. Topped w blueberry jam !
I love the mug cakes. But why is the sugar level so high?
We don’t own a microwave, so I baked my mini Oreo cake at 180 degrees Celsius for around 15+ minutes and it turned out amazing. Thanks for the recipe, Ms. Gemma!
Good Evening everyone!
I made the cookies and cream but with peanut butter/chocolate oreos and first I made one for my vegan friend but I used a banana instead of an egg it did not rise but it was amazing. Then I decided to make one with an egg for me and it was even better! Thanks a lot for posting these recipes where we can cook with microwaves.
Stay safe everyone!❤❤
Oh yeah um I just made the brownie one. I’m not exactly sure how fudgy it’s supposed to be but since there’s no eggs in it I guess it’s fine fully cooked or not fully cooked.
Hi, Gemma!
I’m so glad I discovered that your website has a membership feature. So, I tried the cookies ‘n cream mug cake recipe and just finished baking a few minutes ago… as I was baking, I was a bit confused on the oreo part. Do I include the cream or just the cookies?
Hi Gemma,
Can I scale the chocolate brownie mug cake recipe and bake it in an oven instead ? If I could bake it in an oven what baking temperature would you recommend and for how long should I bake it ?
OH MY GOD GEMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH.. this was sooooooooooo good. i halved the recipe cuz i only had a small mug but exactly 1 minute…. and paired with chocolate hazelnut icecim eating it as i ream.. it was truly a wonder to behold…
i am eating this as i am writing this comment..

Hey Gemma! Your recipes look so amazing and simple! I’m excited to try the cookies and cream mug cake but I was unsure about the egg. On the recipe, it says one egg, but in the video, it looks like you only put in the yolk, (or it’s whisked). So does is the do we put in the whole egg or just the yolk? Thanks!
