Lemon Keto Microwave Cheesecake
Sometimes you need a quick dessert fix! If you love lemon-flavored desserts, you will love this dessert flavored with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Rich cream cheese is blended with an egg, sweetener, lemon juice, and lemon extract. The batter is “baked” in the microwave briefly before it is placed in the fridge to chill. The wonderful thing about this Keto microwave meal is that you can enjoy it directly from the ramekin. You could also decide to invert the cheesecake onto a place for a prettier presentation.
How to Make It
Step 1
Place the cream cheese in a 4 oz microwave-safe ramekin. Microwave on high for 20 seconds until the cheese is softened.
Step 2
Next, add the egg, sweetener, lemon juice, and lemon extract. Mix well using a spoon or small whisk. Feel free to mix the mixture in a larger bowl so you can use a hand mixer for the smoothest texture, then transfer it to the ramekin.
Step 3
Cook the cheesecake in the microwave for 1 minute on high power or until the top of the cheesecake is no longer shiny and is dotted with bubbles. Do not let the cheesecake overcook. Place in the refrigerator to chill for a couple of hours before serving.
