Instant Mug Microwave Cheesecake

      Have you ever seen a mug recipe? They seem to be kind of fashionable these days. For instance, the instant chocolate mug sponge cake is very popular. We have to confess that we have eaten it a couple of times... We were eager to experiment today, and at the same time, we were in the mood of a cheesecake. This post is the result of that combination. 

     The truth is that this kind of cakes never taste like the "real ones" but the amount of effort, and above all, time that you need to cook them are just not comparable. In this recipe we literally mixed the ingredients in the mug and cook them for under two minutes in the microwave. Just perfect for a treat or a sweet craving!

  Bechamel sauce (also known as white sauce) is one of those basic recipes that can be used in an infinite number of dishes, and everybody has their own way of making it to have the perfect result.

     As a result you will have a light sauce in texture. If using this method, in our experience, if you try to add more flour it is easy to end up with a lumpy sauce. Anyway, you can always fix it using the blender. 

    You will have 250 ml of sauce using the quantities shown in the video. If you want to make 500 ml, just put it in the microwave 1 minute and a half in the last step, instead of 1 minute.
