Don't have a microwave? No problem! If you don't have a microwave or want to make more single-serve cheesecakes, you can make this in the oven. To do that you will need ovenproof ramekins. Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (fan assisted), or 195 °C/ 380 °F (conventional) and cook for 20-25 minutes or until cooked in the centre. The exact time will depend on the ramekin. In general, the large the ramekin, the shorter the cooking time.
To avoid excess liquid in the cheesecake, let the berries defrost and drain the juices before adding to the cheesecake mixture. Fresh berries can used instead of frozen berries.

Ingredients (makes 2 mug cakes)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese or mascarpone cheese (120 g/ 4.2 oz)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (60 ml/ 2 fl oz)
- 3 tbsp Erythritol or low-carb sweetener of choice (30 g/ 1.1 oz)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp lemon juice

- Place the cream cheese, whipping cream, egg, sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest (or orange zest) and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and frothy.
- Divide the mixture between two ramekins and add the berries. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 minutes, checking half way.
Note: Check recipe tips above for oven baking instructions.
- Remove from the microwave and let the cheesecake cool down to room temperature.
- Whip the remaining cream. When the cheesecake has cooled, top with whipped cream.
