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
- Prepare Ingredients: Soften the cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing. Gather all the ingredients to have them ready within reach.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
