This Keto Low Carb Microwave Cheesecake is a rich, creamy dessert that’s ready in minutes. With no crust, no oven, and just a few keto-friendly ingredients, it’s the perfect quick treat for anyone following a low-carb or gluten-free lifestyle.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp granular keto sweetener (erythritol, stevia, monk fruit, or Swerve)
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 egg (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin, microwave cream cheese for 10–15 seconds to soften.
  2. Whisk the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetener and vanilla; whisk again.
  3. Add in the heavy cream and egg, then whisk until well combined and mostly smooth.
  4. Pour into an 8 oz microwave-safe ramekin.
  5. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Then continue in 30-second increments (up to 2 minutes total) until the center is just set.
  6. Let cool at room temperature for 5 minutes.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Flavor variations: Add lemon zest, berries, cocoa, or coconut extract.
  • Sugar substitute: Use any 1:1 sugar-free sweetener equal to 2 tbsp sugar.
  • Chilling is key: Helps firm up texture and mellow the flavor.
  • Best served chilled; do not reheat.
