Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Granulated sweetener (e.g., erythritol or stevia)
- 0.25 tsp Ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Place the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl or mug. Microwave for about 10-15 seconds to soften slightly.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and granulated sweetener to the bowl with the softened cream cheese.
Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth and well-combined. If there are small lumps of cream cheese, that’s okay.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to check and prevent overcooking. The mixture should set but not become too dry.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for added flavor, if desired.
Let the mock Danish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a spoon!
