This is delicious! I made these in 4 small ramekins. I needed about 50% more topping to cover all 4 small cakes. I had most ingredients on hand already. These were easy to assemble, too. We enjoyed a warm dessert within just a few minutes.
These are so good. making it two nights in a row.
Watch those calories. 600 calories for the whole thing. That’ll undo any diet. Use this as a splurge or once a week special or at least only eat half if you are trying for weight loss. I’m not so it’s all mine…occasionally.
Just made this. I’m a beginner but I’ve tried a few mug cakes and holy cow this was unbelievable. You know it’s good when even non-keto dieters cant get enough (made one for my very picky foodie roommate). Thank you!! P.s. love your YT channel as well!
This is an excellent recipe!! I made a delicious desert for my husband and I in less than 30 minutes.
Love, love, love your recipes, you are an awesome “Keto Leader” and I appreciate all the recipes you share. It’s fun to watch your videos and know we are all together trying to be proactive, get healthy and lose weight! Thanks for what you do.
OMG! This was soooo delicious!!!! I ended up subscribing to your channel after coming across your recipe for 90 second keto bread! I have to say, by far, it’s the BEST keto bread I’ve tasted and easy to make!!! Since I’ve started low carb again, I started looking for desserts to satisfy my sweet tooth and came across this recipe. I have to say, you wouldn’t even know it was keto unless someone told you. And this is coming from someone who LOVES sweets with regular sugar! It was that delicious and by far one of my favorite desserts!!! I’ve made it three times already and it’s easy to make! I can’t wait to try your pecan cookie recipe. If the rest of your desserts are this delicious, I know I’ll be successful on my weight loss journey! 🙂 Thank you for making this easy!
This is amazing!!!! I could literally eat it everyday if I allowed myself, 🙂!
