Servings:Â 1
Ingredients
-
2 oz cream cheese, softened
-
2 tbsp sour cream
-
1 tbsp powdered erythritol (adjust to your preferred sweetness)
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
1Â large egg
-
Optional:Â Butter or oil for greasing
Instructions
-
Prepare the Vessel:Â Grease a microwave-safe mug or ramekin with a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
-
Mix the Base:Â In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
-
Incorporate the Egg:Â Add the egg to the bowl and stir until fully incorporated and the consistency is uniform.
-
Transfer:Â Pour your cheesecake batter into the prepared mug or ramekin.
-
Microwave: Cook on high for approximately 1 minute. Watch closely, as it should puff up and set in the center.
-
Test for Doneness:Â Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
-
Cool:Â Let the cheesecake rest for a few minutes to firm up before eating.
-
Garnish:Â Top with fresh berries (like the raspberries in the photo), a dollop of whipped cream, or a dash of cinnamon.
