Strawberry Cheesecake Cottage Cheese Mug Cake - High Protein, Keto
14.5g protein, 5g net carbs. Ready in 5 minutes. High protein keto cottage cheese mug cake with a strawberry cheesecake center.
After dinner, you are craving something sweet, but you are done cooking. This strawberry cheesecake cottage cheese mug cake is for these cravings. Creamy, soft, with a warm cream cheese and strawberry center that actually tastes like cheesecake. Five minutes, one mug, and it is in front of you before the craving has time to turn into something worse.
This cottage cheese mug cake has 14.5g protein and 5g net carbs per serving. It’s high protein, keto-friendly, gluten-free, and diabetic-friendly. No protein powder needed. You make one serving. You eat it five minutes later. No leftovers, no batch cooking, no compromise. That’s the whole point when you are the only person in your house eating high protein keto.
The batter takes seconds in a blender. The trick is in the topping, and what it does in the microwave is the reason this tastes like an actual cheesecake rather than just a mug cake with fruit in it. You can make it in the microwave, in the oven, or in the air fryer, whatever you have running.
If you have been making mug cakes and they have all tasted roughly the same, this is the version that changes that. The texture, the center, the strawberry freshness, it all comes together in one mug. The full recipe, the technique, and everything I have learned making this on repeat is below.
