Single/Small Servings Lemon Cheesecake
This single or small serving recipe for lemon cheesecake is so easy to whip up and it is creamy, tangy and delicious. It does not require any egg or gelatin, and you can make it without cooking or just microwave for 60 seconds. The texture without cooking is softer and lighter while the texture for cooking in the microwave is thicker and creamier. Both are equally delicious, so it depends on your preference. Single or small serving recipes are great for individuals living alone or those who are the only ones living low carb/keto in the family. They are also great for portion control or to satisfy any last-minute cravings without worrying about leftovers.
1. In the video, I used ramekins with a capacity of 180 g or 6 oz. You can use any suitable molds such as mugs or cups, too.
2. To make the crust, place the butter into the ramekin and melt in the microwave for 30 seconds. Then swirl the melted butter around to coat the sides. Add the almond flour and mix until crumbly then spread and flatten evenly. Chill in the fridge.
3. To make the cheesecake, add the softened cream cheese into a bowl together with the sweetener and salt. Mix with a spatula until creamy. Then add the whipping cream, lemon juice and whisk until smooth and creamy. Pour onto the crust and spread evenly. For option 1 (without cooking), freeze for 1 hour to set. For option 2, microwave for 20 seconds intervals each time for 3 times. This is to avoid the cheesecake from over bubbling and spilling over. However, if you are using a much bigger ramekin, cup or mug, then you can microwave for 60 seconds straight. Let it cool for a while then freeze for 1 hour to set.
4. If you wish to remove the cheesecake from the ramekin as shown in the video, just run a knife around the edges then invert onto a plate and place it properly on a serving plate with the crust at the bottom. If you are unable to remove from the ramekin, just soak the ramekin with hot water for a few seconds then it should come out easily.
5. The texture for option 1 without cooking is softer and lighter.
6. The texture for option 2 microwave for 60 seconds is thicker and creamier.
7. Both options are delicious, so it depends on your preference.
