Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 Oreo cookies
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) milk
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chocolate chips
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Optional Texture Ingredient:
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) baking powder
Instructions
- Pulverize the Oreo cookies directly inside a microwave-safe mug, transforming them into a fine, uniform powder using a fork or the back of a spoon.
- Pour milk into the crushed cookie base, stirring thoroughly to create a smooth, consistent mixture that eliminates any remaining cookie chunks.
- Incorporate baking powder and flour into the liquid mixture, whisking carefully to develop a light, airy batter with no visible dry ingredient clumps.
- Position the mug in the center of the microwave, heating on high power for approximately 60-90 seconds until the cake rises and sets with a slightly springy texture.
- Carefully remove the mug from the microwave using a heat-resistant cloth or oven mitt, allowing the cake to cool and stabilize for a brief moment.
- Embellish the warm mug cake with optional garnishes like chocolate chips, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate the dessert’s decadence.
- Serve immediately while the cake remains warm and tender, enjoying the rich, cookie-infused flavor profile of this quick and indulgent treat.
Notes
- Crush Oreos thoroughly to ensure a smooth, consistent texture without large cookie chunks that might affect the cake’s softness.
- Use whole milk for a richer, creamier mug cake; plant-based milk works great for dairy-free alternatives without compromising taste.
- Adjust microwave timing carefully since wattage varies between appliances; watch the cake rise and stop cooking when it looks set to prevent dryness.
- Add a small dollop of Nutella or peanut butter in the center before microwaving for a delicious molten surprise that creates an extra decadent dessert experience.
