My Favorite Mug Dessert

It's finally Saturday. We have an away football game this weekend, which gives me time to catch up on schoolwork, laundry, and blogging! As I mentioned in my previous post, I was planning to share a couple of single desserts for one, but then I decided it was best to feature my absolute favorite one because it deserves its own post for being so awesome. 

I love cheesecake. As in I would rather have cheesecake as my wedding cake than actual cake. Future hubs better be okay with that ;) A few months ago, I found this recipe for a single serving cheesecake on Pinterest, surprisingly had the exact ingredients I needed to make it. Score. That never happens. When I want to make something, I am usually missing one of the ingredients. The other great thing about this recipe is that it's LOW CARB, and you won't even feel a tad bit guilty afterwards.

So here is my recipe. My only suggestion is to make sure you leave it in the fridge for at least an hour to cool. It doesn't have the same effect when you are impatient and take it out at 45 minutes. Trust me, it's worth the extra 15.
