Ingredients

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
