Mock Danish

By LadyJ1114

Ingredients

• 2 ounces regular cream cheese (not low-fat)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tsp sugar substitute
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• dash salt
• dash cinnamon (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, microwave the cream cheese for 15 seconds or less; just long enough to soften it.
Add the egg and combine the two ingredients with a spatula until smooth.
Add the sweetener, vanilla, salt and optional cinnamon (I like it with cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg, when plain, but leave it out with eating it with fruit jelly). Mix well.
Because I'm fussy, I transfer the ingredients into a 6-oz. ramekin to nuke, but you can continue to use the same bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds (turning half way through). It shouldn't be runny, but the center should still be a bit soft, for that "Danish" feeling. May need to nuke for a further 30 to 60 seconds.
I used a spatula to pop mine out of the ramekin and placed it onto a plate, but ... again ... many just eat it right out of the bowl! Delicious hot or cold! Cover with jelly, or ... sprinkle some more cinnamon and sweetener over it.
