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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
