Single Servings No-Bake Cheesecake
Single or small serving recipes using mostly microwave ovens are super simple, quick and delicious. They are so convenient for individuals who live alone or those who are the only ones living low carb or keto in the family. They are also great for portion control or to satisfy any last-minute cravings without worrying about leftovers. If you love cheesecake and do not want to make the whole cheesecake, this is an absolutely good way to make it into single servings. I am showing you how to make different variations with 1 basic cheesecake which is so easy. My personal favorite has to the lemon cheesecake. They all taste incredibly delicious, and you can choose whatever fillings or toppings you like.
1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale
2. Make the crust by combining the ground almonds or almond flour with the chopped roasted nuts. I used a combo of pecans and walnuts just to give it more crunch. Then add the melted butter and mix to combine. Set aside.
3. Make the basic or original cheesecake. In a small bowl, add the cold cream cheese and heavy or whipping cream. Both ingredients must be cold. Add the powdered sweetener and vanilla extract. Use a hand-held mixer to beat on low to medium speed until smooth and firm. You can also use a whisk, but it can be quite tedious as the cream cheese is cold and firm. Then add other ingredients for the flavor of the cheesecake that you are making and mix well with a spatula.
4. To assemble the cheesecake, I used a dessert glass. You can use any suitable glass, cups, ramekins or even jars. Just layer with half the crust at the bottom, followed by half of the cheesecake, filling that you are using then repeat with the balance of the crust and cheesecake. Finally, top with any fresh berries, nuts, zest, whipped cream, etc.
5. The cheesecake can be eaten immediately or chilled before eating. When eaten immediately, the texture is light and scoopable. When chilled, the texture is firmer and of course, colder.
6. The cheesecake can be refrigerated for up to 2 to 3 days.
7. Even though the cheesecake is meant for single serving but if you are a small eater, you can actually share it with someone or use 2 smaller cups.
