I am a true keto-friendly cheesecake lover! I love creating healthy cheesecake versions of traditional cheesecakes, like my cottage cheese cheesecake with just 100 calories per slice, or my famous no-bake keto cheesecake.

However, sometimes I can’t wait to indulge in a slice of cheesecake, or I don’t have enough people to share a traditional cheesecake recipe with me. That’s why I created this easy 90-second keto mug cheesecake. Like my keto cheesecake bites and convenient for a small keto dessert.

Ingredients and Tips

This keto microwave cheesecake is super easy to bring together, place all the simple ingredients below in a blender and blend until smooth.

• Full-Fat Cream Cheese – You can use lactose-free or reduced-fat cream cheese for a healthier twist. The key is to soften the cream cheese at room temperature to make it easier to blend and avoid lumps in your cheesecake batter.
• Large Egg – This is the binder of any cheesecake recipe and it’s a must! You can’t really swap it for any alternative.
• Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt – This adds a tangy flavor to the cheesecake, and if you use yogurt, it also adds protein. Last option if you don’t like tangy flavors in cheesecake, is to use heavy cream or half-half.
• Lemon Juice – For a hint of lemon flavor that, you can even increase by adding a teaspoon of organic lemon zest.
• Vanilla Extract for extra flavor.
• Stevia Glycerite or powdered allulose or erythritol to sweetened the low-carb mug cheesecake without adding real sugar.

1. Pour all the ingredients in the jug of a blender.

2. Pour the blended ingredients into a grease ramekin or microwave safe mug.

3. Microwave at 1000W for 60-90 seconds or until the center is jiggly but the sides are set. The top should be glossy and lightly firm too. If too soft, simply microwave again by 10 seconds burst until it reach your favorite cheesecake texture.

4. Cool down 10 minutes then run a knife on the sides of the ramekin to loosen the cheesecake and make it easier to release on a plate.

5. Flip the ramekin upside down on a plate and bring it to the fridge for up to one hour for a firmer, cold texture, or serve lukewarm.

Serving Microwave Mug Cheesecakes

Serve your cheesecake mug cake with some of the toppings below:

• Keto caramel sauce
• Keto jam
• Sugar-free whipped cream
• Chocolate sauce – melt one tablespoon of sugar-free chocolate chips and a bit of coconut oil or heavy cream to make a ganache.
• Blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries

Expert Tips To Make Microwave Cheesecake

• Microwave for 60 seconds, then increase the time if needed. Cooking in the microwave is tricky. Food dries out fast, and the cooking time depends on the size of your mug or ramekin. The cheesecake will cook faster in a wide mug, and the microwave time will be closer to 60 seconds. That’s why the trick is to start with the minimum time, then microwave it for an extra 10 seconds and repeat until it’s set to your liking.
• Bring the ingredients to room temperature for 30 minutes. This helps the cream cheese and eggs to come together without forming lumps, especially if you don’t have a blender and you use a balloon whisk to beat the ingredients.
• Grease the ramekin very well. I love serving this keto cheesecake on a plate, but to ensure a perfect release, you must grease the mug or ramekin with oil spray. Use a knife to loosen the sides before flipping it upside down on a plate.
• Use a blender or food processor. I don’t like using a hand whisk for a cheesecake batter. The cream cheese never blends very well and you end up with lumps in your batter.
