Equipment

  • 1 Microwave-safe mug
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Fork or whisk
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cocoa powder, erythritol, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Use a fork or whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, making sure there are no lumps.
  3. Pour the mixture into a microwave-safe mug, scraping down the sides to get everything into the mug.
  4. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then check the consistency. If needed, microwave an additional 10-15 seconds until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Let it cool for a minute before adding any optional toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, or nuts.
  6. Enjoy your delicious Keto cheesecake straight from the mug!

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
This cheesecake is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can cover it and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply pop it back in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
Variations:
- Add a scoop of peanut butter for a chocolate peanut butter cheesecake.
- Swap cocoa powder for lemon juice and zest for a refreshing lemon cheesecake.
- Mix in a few sugar-free chocolate chips for an extra treat.
- Use different flavored extracts like almond or coconut for varied taste.
- Top with sugar-free chocolate syrup for an indulgent finish.
