Description

This Microwave Pumpkin Cheesecake is a quick and easy single-serving dessert combining creamy cream cheese and spiced pumpkin puree, perfectly cooked in just 90 seconds. Ideal for fall or any time you crave a seasonal treat, it’s customizable with your favorite toppings like caramel, pecans, and whipped cream.

Ingredients

Cheesecake Base

  • 2 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon Pumpkin Puree
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • Dash of Cinnamon

Optional Toppings

  • Caramel Sauce
  • Chopped Pecans
  • Whipped Cream

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, egg, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and a dash of cinnamon to a measuring cup or bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients until completely combined and the batter is frothy; a whisk might not adequately break down the cream cheese.
  3. Prepare Ramekin: Spray a ramekin with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then pour the cheesecake batter into it.
  4. Microwave Cooking: Place the ramekin in the microwave and cook on full power for 90 seconds.
  5. Chill: Immediately transfer the ramekin to the refrigerator and chill for 15-20 minutes or longer for a colder dessert.
  6. Invert and Serve: Remove from the fridge, place a small plate on top of the ramekin, and invert it to release the cheesecake onto the plate.
  7. Add Toppings: Garnish with your choice of caramel sauce, chopped pecans, whipped cream, or any toppings you prefer. Enjoy with a cup of coffee if desired!
