Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Soften the cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing. Gather all the ingredients to have them ready within reach.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the softened cream cheese, egg, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Use a fork or small whisk to blend thoroughly until smooth and no lumps remain.
  3. Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 seconds. Check the cheesecake; it should be set but slightly jiggly in the center. If not fully set, microwave in additional 10-second increments until done, being careful not to overcook.
  4. Cool Down: Allow the mug cheesecake to cool for 5 minutes to let it set further and avoid burning your mouth. Optionally, refrigerate for 15 minutes for an even firmer texture before eating.
  5. Serve: Enjoy your quick keto cheesecake directly from the mug or transfer to a plate. You can top with fresh berries or sugar-free syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure to soften the cream cheese before mixing for a smoother batter.
  • Microwave power varies; adjust time accordingly to avoid overcooking.
  • Use keto-friendly sweeteners to keep the recipe low-carb.
  • Serving size is one mug serving, perfect for individual dessert portions.
  • If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate the cheesecake after microwaving.
