Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 ½ Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss wedges
  • 2 tbsp nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp granulated white sugar
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Soften the Cheese: Place the Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss wedges in a microwave-safe mug and microwave for about 15 seconds to soften the cheese, making it easier to mix.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and egg to the mug with the softened cheese. Use a small whisk or fork to blend all ingredients thoroughly until you get a smooth, creamy batter.
  3. Microwave in Intervals: Microwave the mug cake for 1 minute. Check the consistency—if the center is not fully set, microwave for an additional 20-30 seconds. The surface should appear cooked and no longer liquidy.
  4. Cool Before Serving: Allow the mug cake to cool for a few minutes after cooking to firm up slightly and enhance the flavors before enjoying.

Notes

  • Do not overcook, as it can dry out the cake or cause it to splatter in the microwave.
  • Optional flavor variations include adding cocoa powder, lemon zest, or berry jam before microwaving.
  • Top with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or sauces like caramel or chocolate syrup for extra indulgence.
  • For dairy-free or low-carb versions, substitute ingredients accordingly.
  • For multiple servings, double the ingredients and cook each mug separately.
