Easy Keto Cheesecakes – A Low-Carb Delight

Looking for a simple and delicious treat that fits into your low-carb lifestyle? This easy cheesecake is creamy, satisfying, and perfect for a quick dessert. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, you’ll have a decadent dessert that won’t derail your diet.  

Ingredients

330 grams classic ricotta cheese (1 + 1/3 cups)  

1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt  

3 tablespoons sugar-free syrup (flavor of your choice)  

1 large egg  

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Blend all ingredients until smooth (use blender, food processor, or wire whisk if you prefer doing it by hand).

2. Divide batter into ramekins or muffin cups.  

3. Bake at 180°C (350°F) until set, about 20-25 minutes.  

4. Optional: Top with berries or sugar-free chocolate chips before baking for extra flavor!  

5. Let cool and enjoy! 

Microwave Instructions

Divide the batter into microwave-safe ramekins or mugs. Microwave on medium power (50-70%) for 60-90 seconds to start. Check for firmness—if it's still too soft, continue in 10-15 second increments until set. Let cool for a few minutes before enjoying!

(Using lower power prevents overcooking and keeps it creamy.)

NOTE: the cheescakes get puffy while cooking, so you might want to put the ramekins on a plate, while cooking. I divided the batter into 3 short mugs (about half the height of a normal coffee mug) and they got all the way to the top. One ran over just a bit.
