Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Cream cheese
- 1 Egg
- 0.25 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Sweetener (granulated, like erythritol or stevia blend)
- 0.25 tsp Cinnamon (optional, for topping)
- 1 tbsp Berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, soften 2 ounces of cream cheese by microwaving it for about 10 seconds.
Add 1 egg, 0.25 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1 tsp of sweetener to the bowl. Mix thoroughly with a fork or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe ramekin or small bowl, smoothing out the top for even cooking.
Microwave the mixture for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, or until it has set and no longer appears runny. Cooking times may vary depending on the microwave's wattage.
Let the Mock Danish cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. The texture will firm up slightly as it cools.
Optional: Sprinkle 0.25 tsp of cinnamon on top or garnish with 1 tbsp of fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.
Enjoy your Low Carb Mock Danish warm for the best result!
