One Minute Cheesecake (My Favorite Low Carb Dessert Recipe)

This low carb dessert recipe is adapted from Jamie Van Eaton's Minute Microwave Cheesecake recipe here.

2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1 egg
½ tsp lemon juice
¼ tsp vanilla
2-4 Tbsp sugar substitute such as powdered erythritol or stevia (mix two or more for a better flavor)

Combine all ingredients in a 1.5 cup microwave-safe bowl, and whisk until smooth. Place in microwave and cook on high for 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds to remix ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Excellent topped with fresh fruit and whipped cream, or a homemade low carb chocolate sauce. (Count extra carbs if additions are made).

Raspberry Fudge Sauce

This low carb dessert recipe takes more time, but it's worth it. It is excellent over the cheesecake above.

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1-3.5 ounce bar Lindt 90% chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup powdered erythritol* (add more or less to taste)
1/4 cup of heavy cream
2 tablespoons Monin sugar free Raspberry Syrup

Place the cream cheese and chopped chocolate in a double boiler (or in a heat safe dish over a pot of boiling water). Stir well until just melted. Add the sweetener and stir until incorporated and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool. After the mixture has cooled quite a bit, add in heavy cream and syrup and stir until smooth and thick. This is a lesson in patience, because if you add the cream while the mixture is still hot, the chocolate will separate.

Makes 10 servings.
