Here's the recipe for this glorious chocolate desert:
- 1 oz. chocolate chips, or however many you feel like putting in. I usually just go off of my sight.
- 1 1/2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 beaten egg or 1 tbsp of "egg beaters"(pre-beaten eggs in a carton). That's what I typically use just because I'm not wasting half an egg and I save some time and dishes by not having to beat it.
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Nutella (if desired)
To start, melt the chocolate chips and the butter in a microwave safe bowl or mug for 40 seconds, and then stir to make sure it is blended evenly and has a liquid consistency. Then, mix in the sugar, egg, and flour until you have a semi-thick batter. If adding Nutella, leave a dollop right in the middle of the mix: maybe push it down if you so feel like it. Microwave the dessert for 45 seconds to a minute, but don't go over a minute. Personally, I like mine a little muddier so I only cook it for 45 seconds. Remove from microwave and allow to cool for 3 minutes before serving.
Alternative: Mix the chocolatey dessert up so it gets the consistency of a mud cake. This is my favorite way to eat it.
I really enjoy this recipe because it's great in a pinch when you don't have a lot of time or energy but are still craving a warm and rich dessert.
