What Is Microwave Petit Gâteau?
Petit gâteau is traditionally a small chocolate cake with a molten center. While the classic version requires baking and butter-heavy ingredients, this microwave version is a much simpler and lighter alternative.
Instead of flour and sugar, this recipe relies on:
- Eggs for structure
- Cream cheese for creaminess
- Cocoa powder for deep chocolate flavor
- Sweetener instead of sugar
The result is a quick, single-serving dessert that feels indulgent without being overly heavy.
Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe uses ingredients that are commonly found in low-carb or Dukan kitchens.
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 dessert spoon cocoa powder
- Sweetener drops, to taste
That’s it — no flour, no sugar, no baking required.
How to Make Petit Gâteau in the Microwave
One of the best parts of this recipe is how easy it is.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Crack the egg into a microwave-safe mug or small bowl.

- Place the mug in the microwave and cook for 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, depending on your microwave’s power.

It’s best enjoyed warm, straight from the mug.

This recipe can fit into later Dukan phases, depending on the type of cream cheese and sweetener used.
✔ Choose low-fat, unsweetened cream cheese

As always, moderation and phase rules matter.
