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.

What is the best type of cheese for this recipe?

The best type of cream cheese for this recipe is organic and has the least amount of additives like gums and stabilizers. Also, use full-fat cream cheese.

How long does this take to cook in the microwave?

Ours took about one minute to cook in the microwave on high power. Since microwaves can vary between the same brand and models, we urge you to keep an eye on your cheesecake, so it doesn’t overcook. You want to look for a cheesecake to have a top that is no longer shiny and has tiny bubbles.

What is the best sweetener to use?

We have used powdered erythritol, but you can use an erythritol/monk fruit blend or stevia. If you use stevia, add slightly more sweetener than we have listed here.

For this recipe, you will need:

-One 4 oz microwave-safe ramekin
