1 Minute Microwave Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
• 1 tablespoon almond flour
• 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg (or 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce for egg-free option)
• A pinch of salt
• Optional toppings: whipped cream, berries, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce

Instructions

1. Mix Ingredients:
   • In a microwave-safe mug or bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, almond flour, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
   • If using an egg, add it to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated. For an egg-free version, mix in the applesauce.
2. Microwave:
   • Microwave on high for about 60 seconds. Check for doneness; it should be set in the middle. If it’s still a bit jiggly, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds.
3. Cool and Serve:
   • Let it cool for a minute or so before enjoying. Top with your choice of whipped cream, berries, or chocolate sauce if desired.

Enjoy!
