Ingredients
Scale
- 3 oz (85g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
- A small handful fresh raspberries (optional)
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk)
Instructions
- Soften cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy (1-2 minutes with a hand mixer or 3-4 minutes by hand).
- Add the egg and mix well to incorporate.
- Stir in all-purpose flour and cocoa powder until combined but do not overmix.
- Add vanilla extract and heavy cream, mixing gently until combined.
- Spoon the batter into a microwave-safe 12 oz mug, smoothing the top.
- Dollop raspberry jam on top and swirl gently with a toothpick or knife to create a marbled effect.
- Add fresh raspberries into the batter if using.
- Microwave on high for 90-120 seconds, starting with 90 seconds and adding time if needed, until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Do not overcook to avoid rubbery texture. Soften cream cheese well for smooth batter. Swirl raspberry jam gently to keep marbled look. Let cool before eating for best texture. Microwave times vary; start with 90 seconds.
