Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 Oreo cookies
- ¼ cup (63 ml) milk of choice, (regular or vegan)
Optional Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips, (regular or vegan)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo Pieces: Add the Oreo cookies to a mug or ramekin and roughly break them up using a fork. Alternatively, chop them beforehand to reduce mess and achieve smaller chunks rather than crumbs.
- Mix with Milk: Pour in the milk and stir thoroughly until the cookie pieces are fully combined with the milk, resulting in a chunky mixture—this is expected for the right texture.
- Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): If desired, stir in the semisweet chocolate chips now for an extra layer of chocolatey richness.
- Microwave Cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and heat for 45 to 90 seconds, starting with 45 seconds and increasing as needed, until the top looks just slightly undercooked. Cooking time varies by microwave wattage.
- Oven Cooking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the oven-safe ramekin inside and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the top is just slightly undercooked.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow the mug cake to cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, top with whipped cream or ice cream before enjoying your warm, decadent dessert.
Notes
- The texture will appear chunky after mixing; this is normal and part of the cake’s charm.
- Adjust microwaving time based on your appliance’s power to avoid overcooking.
- If using the oven method, make sure your ramekin is oven-safe.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free milk and vegan-approved Oreos and chocolate chips.
- Feel free to customize toppings such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries for extra indulgence.
