Ingredients
Cheesecake Base
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tablespoon allulose
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients needed for the cheesecake and have them ready at room temperature for better mixing.
- Soften Cream Cheese: Place the cream cheese in a microwave-safe mug and microwave for 15-20 seconds until it is completely softened, ensuring smooth blending with other ingredients.
- Whisk Egg: Thoroughly whisk the egg in a separate bowl until smooth to ensure an even texture in the cheesecake.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the whisked egg, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and allulose into the softened cream cheese. Mix everything well until smooth and free of lumps.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mixture for 70-90 seconds, or until the cheesecake is mostly set but still slightly jiggly in the center to maintain a creamy texture.
- Removing from Mug (Optional): If desired, run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake and invert it onto a plate for a cleaner presentation.
- Chill or Serve Warm: Refrigerate the cheesecake for 15-20 minutes to firm up further, or enjoy it warm straight from the microwave.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of allulose to your taste.
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a lump-free mixture.
- Microwave power settings vary; adjust cooking time slightly if needed.
- For a firmer texture, refrigerate longer before serving.
- This recipe is single-serving, but easily doubled if needed.
