Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 1/2 tbsp cream cheese (softened, 52g)
- 1/2 tbsp sour cream (7g)
- 2 tbsp powdered monkfruit sweetener (20g)
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Cream Cheese, Sour Cream, and Sweetener: In a ramekin, mug, or small microwavable bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and powdered monkfruit sweetener. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Crack in the egg and pour in the vanilla extract. Whisk again until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a creamy batter.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mixture on high for approximately 1 minute to 1 minute and 15 seconds, or until the center of the cheesecake is no longer liquid and the edges start to gently pull away from the sides of the ramekin.
- Chill or Serve Warm: After microwaving, you can place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to cool for a firmer texture or enjoy it warm immediately, depending on your preference.
- Optional Serving Suggestions: Serve with fresh fruit, homemade sugar-free strawberry sauce, or no sugar added jam to enhance the flavor while keeping it keto-friendly.
Notes
- Use room temperature egg to ensure smooth mixing and even cooking.
- Adjust microwave time based on your microwave’s wattage for perfect texture.
- Powdered monkfruit sweetener is used to mimic powdered sugar without carbs; do not substitute with granulated sweeteners unless powdered.
- For a firmer cheesecake, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
