Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5 oz 142g cream cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp powdered sweetener
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Equipment

  • 2 6-ounce ramekins

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl using a fork or balloon whisk until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Lightly grease each ramekin with oil or melted butter (light olive or coconut oil recommended).
  3. Divide the batter evenly between the ramekins.
  4. Microwave each ramekin separately for 1 minute on high. They should appear glossy with a slightly jiggly center. Follow up with an additional 20 seconds in the microwave.
  5. Let them cool on the counter for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for about 1 hour or until cool.
  6. Serve directly from the ramekin or invert onto a plate, garnished with berries, whipped cream, or a quick berry coulis.

Notes

Notes:
  • Net Carbs: 2.6g per portion.
  • Adjust microwave cooking time based on your microwave's wattage (recipe based on a 900W microwave).
  • Ramekin dimensions: 7 cm diameter at the bottom, 9 cm at the top.
  • For a sweeter taste, add extra erythritol or a few drops of vanilla or lemon stevia.
  • Optional crust: Mix 5-6 tbsp almond flour, 1 tsp sweetener, and 1 tsp melted butter to create a crumbly mixture. Press it into the bottom of greased ramekins before adding the cheesecake mixture. This increases net carbs to 3.9g and calories to 318 per serving.
  • Oven alternative: Bake at 160°C (325°F) for 10-12 minutes.
