As a busy mom, I love easy recipes. I just don’t have time to spend hours measuring and baking (as much as I want to!). This little cheesecake is so easy that all I have to do is microwave it for 90 seconds and then let it sit for 10 minutes.
Waiting for it while it sits is the most difficult part of the entire recipe. You’ll smell the cheesecake and want to dig in before it’s really ready.

The best part about this cheesecake is how fast it is. You seriously just mix the ingredients, put it in the microwave, and then let it sit.

Healthy Cheesecake Recipe
Not only does this cheesecake taste divine, but it’s really good for you too. The cream cheese is packed with protein and healthy fats that will keep you feeling full (and keep your body in fat-burning mode).
Plus, the coconut oil and coconut flakes are excellent sources of healthy fats as well. You could call these little cheesecakes some delicious fat bombs.
They come out so beautifully! They are perfect for any special occasion. If you are pinched for time, they are ready in less than 3 minutes, so keep this recipe handy!
Keto Cheesecake For Two
This recipe makes two mini cheesecakes. It’s the perfect idea to serve on your date night at home. There are lots of ways that you can customize and change them to suit your taste.
Try some of these optional toppings:
- Strawberry syrup,
- Ice cream
- Fresh blueberries
How To Store The Cheesecakes
These taste the best when they are fresh. They are so small I doubt you will have any leftovers. If you want to make them and store them for later, I suggest keeping them in an airtight container with a lid in the refrigerator.
Since they don’t have a crust, you can just keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days without being afraid of the texture changing.
