Description

Quick keto cheesecake in a mug brings rich, creamy dessert magic to low-carb diets without complex baking skills. Microwave preparation delivers delightful sweet satisfaction for dieters craving indulgent treats you can whip up in minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 egg (room temperature)
  • 3.5 tbsps (52 g) cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tbsps (20 g) powdered monkfruit sweetener
  • 0.5 tbsp (7 g) sour cream
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Clean and select a microwave-safe mug or ramekin, ensuring a pristine surface for your swift dessert endeavor.
  2. Mixing Base: Whisk softened cream cheese, sour cream, and monkfruit sweetener into a luxuriously smooth, homogeneous blend, eliminating any potential lumps for a silky texture.
  3. Incorporating Wet Ingredients: Vigorously integrate the room temperature egg and vanilla extract into the creamy foundation, creating a harmonious mixture that promises a delectable mug cheesecake.
  4. Microwave Magic: Position the mug centrally in the microwave, zapping at full power for 60-75 seconds until the edges subtly retract and the center achieves a delicate, pudding-like consistency that signals perfect doneness.
  5. Finishing Touches: Let the mini cheesecake rest momentarily, offering the option of immediate warm consumption or a brief refrigeration for a chilled experience; adorn with fresh berries or a dollop of sugar-free jam to elevate this keto-friendly delicacy into an elegant, portion-controlled treat.

Notes

  • Mug Selection Matters: Choose a wide, microwave-safe container to ensure even cooking and prevent overflow during the process.
  • Temperature Control: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free texture and consistent baking result.
  • Timing is Critical: Watch microwave carefully during cooking; overcooking leads to rubbery texture, while undercooking results in runny consistency.
  • Cooling Technique: Let cheesecake rest for 1-2 minutes after microwaving to allow proper setting and enhance overall flavor profile.
