Scale
Ingredients
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, add the softened cream cheese, egg, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Use a fork or small whisk to mix until the batter is smooth and well combined, making sure there are no lumps.
- Microwave cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 90 seconds. Check the cheesecake; it should look set but slightly jiggly in the center. If it is still very liquid, microwave in additional 10-second increments until set.
- Cool and serve: Let the cheesecake cool for a few minutes to thicken further. You can enjoy it warm or chill it in the refrigerator before serving for a firmer texture.
Notes
- Be careful not to overcook, as microwaves vary and overcooking can cause the texture to become rubbery.
- Use a low-carb sweetener to keep this dessert keto-friendly.
- Allow to cool slightly before eating to improve texture and flavor.
- You can add berries or sugar-free syrup as toppings for extra flavor.
