4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely.

Filling:

1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
2. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Sift in cocoa powder and beat until smooth.
4. Fold in whipped cream until just combined.

Tips:

• You can use a food processor to grind the graham crackers into crumbs.
• Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
• If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round pan, but it might be more difficult to remove the cheesecake.
• To make the cheesecake even more decadent, add a layer of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the crust before adding the filling.

Amazingly Good Cheese Bread in a Mug Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 package baking powder (about 10 g or 2 teaspoons)
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup grated cheese (Gouda or any cheese of your choice)
• 50 g diced beef, cooked or raw
• Optional: butter or oil for greasing the mug

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Mug

Lightly grease a large microwave-safe mug or a small coffee pot with a bit of butter or oil. This step ensures that the bread doesn’t stick and makes for easy removal later.

2. Mix the Ingredients

In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Next, add the milk, grated cheese, and diced beef to the dry mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined into a dough-like consistency. The cheese and beef will give the bread a flavorful, savory kick.

3. Fill the Mug

Once the dough is ready, carefully pour the mixture into the prepared mug or coffee pot, filling it about halfway to allow room for the bread to rise as it cooks.

4. Microwave the Bread

Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the microwave’s power, so check the bread after 2.5 minutes. The bread is ready when it has risen and the top feels firm to the touch.

5. Serve

Once cooked, let the bread cool slightly before digging in. You can enjoy the cheesy bread straight from the mug, or if you prefer, gently loosen the edges with a knife and remove it from the mug to serve on a plate.

Optional Oven Version

For a more traditional loaf-style cheese bread, follow the same steps, but instead of microwaving, pour the batter into a lightly greased loaf tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
