Keto Cheesecake in a Mug


Keto Mug Cheesecake for 1


2 heaping tablespoons cream cheese
2 heaping tablespoons Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
liquid stevia to taste (I used about 2 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (I have liquid stevia that is vanilla flavored, so I omitted this)
1 egg

Let sit a few minutes to cool. Pour onto a dessert plate and top as desired. I like to sprinkle some chopped sugar free chocolate on mine, or drizzle a little sugar-free chocolate syrup on it.
