Cheesecake Mug Cake Ingredients
- 2 ½ Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss wedges
- 2 tbsp nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp granulated white sugar
- 1 egg
- Soften the Cheese: Place 2 ½ wedges of Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese in a microwave-safe mug and heat for about 15 seconds to soften it for easier mixing.
- Combine Ingredients: Add 2 tablespoons of nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of granulated white sugar, and 1 egg to the mug with the softened cheese. Use a small whisk or fork to mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Microwave in Intervals: Microwave the mug cake for 1 minute initially. Check the texture; if the surface isn’t fully set and looks liquidy, microwave for an additional 20 to 30 seconds until cooked through.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the mug cake to cool for a few minutes so it firms up slightly and the flavors meld, then enjoy your warm, creamy dessert.
Notes
- Be careful not to overcook the cake, as overheating can dry it out or cause it to splatter.
- Customize flavor by adding vanilla extract, cinnamon, or cocoa powder.
- Top with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or honey for extra indulgence.
- Use dairy-free cheese and yogurt alternatives for a lactose-free version.
- Substitute sugar with keto-friendly sweeteners for a low-carb option.
- Prepare batter in advance and refrigerate up to 24 hours if needed.
- If doubling the recipe, microwave each serving separately for best results.
