I came on here looking for a quick low carb microwave cheesecake recipe.. I was not disappointed. So good.

The first time I saw this danish was in the Protein Power Plan diet years ago. I add a teaspoon or so of fruit only spread to the top half way through the cooking time. It tastes like a fruit danish that way.

I make this often but I add a pat of butter on top when I sprinkle the cinnamon. Its really good and easy!

This was very yummy! I glazed it with a butter/Splenda/cinnamon glaze from Linda's Low Carb site. Really jazzed it up. It was like a very fluffy pancake. I was still hungry though, so a side of bacon or sausage would round out this meal. Could also top w/sugar free pancake syrup. Very satisfying for a low carb lifestyle.

Tasty, but next time adding fruit would make it more like a real danish. Thanks for the recipe
