Surprisingly, this works. Perfect when you need just a little something for one or two. Ingredients:
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (or a mixture) or 1/2 cup gingersnap crumbs (or a mixture) |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 tablespoon sugar |
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 lime, zest of |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice or 2 tablespoons key lime juice |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon potato starch (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine crumbs with butter and 1 tbsp sugar; stir until sandy in texture. Divide between two pint-sized Mason jars or large coffee mugs. Pack crumbs down into bottoms.
2. Stir remaining ingredients together until smooth. Divide between vessels. Place in microwave for 2 minutes on high (if your microwave does not have a rotating plate, turn vessels 90° after 1 minute). Continue to cook for 30-second intervals until the tops appear dry.
3. Transfer to refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. The top will develop a dimple as it cools; top with a dollop of whipped cream to cover it up.
