Ingredients

3 ½ tbsp cream cheese, softened (52g)

½ tbsp sour cream (optional, 7g)

2 tbsp powdered monkfruit sweetener (20g)

1 egg, room temperature

¼ tsp vanilla extract

Optional toppings:

Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)

Sugar-free whipped cream

No-sugar-added jam

Keto strawberry sauce

Instructions

In a ramekin, mug, or small microwave-safe bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and powdered monkfruit sweetener. Whisk until smooth.

Add the egg and vanilla extract. Whisk again until well combined.

Microwave for 1 minute to 1 minute 15 seconds, or until the center is set and pulls away from the edges.

Let it cool in the fridge for a chilled cheesecake or enjoy it warm right away.

Top with your choice of fresh fruit, sugar-free jam, or whipped cream.

Notes

Microwave times may vary — check for doneness in the center.

Can also be baked at 350°F (175°C) for 18–20 minutes if preferred.

Try flavor variations with almond, coconut, or lemon extract.

Add-ins like lemon zest, sugar-free chocolate chips, or berry chunks work well.
