Dessert for One
Preparing a homestyle Meal For One doesn’t mean you should skip dessert. This treat takes mug cake to the next level!
While you can measure out the ingredients ahead of time, these cakes are meant to be enjoyed immediately – not that you’ll be able to resist! And if this dessert isn’t decadent enough for you, add some top-notch toppings. Why not add a dollop of whipped cream, some chocolate sprinkles, or even a scoop of ice cream?
What is Dulce de Leche
Though Argentina is credited for this dessert made from sweetened milk, it’s enjoyed around the globe. Creamy, thick caramel-like dulce de leche can be enjoyed as a filling or a topping for lots of types of desserts. This irresistible Salted Caramel Rice Pudding Ice Cream Pie has dulce de leche folded in and drizzled on top! While you can make dulce de leche from cooked down condensed milk, it’s much easier to stock up on cans of dulce de leche when you’re in the baking aisle. If you don’t have any in the pantry when the craving strikes, don’t panic: you may have a substitute handy.
– Caramel: As it has a similar taste and texture, it’s a great substitute. Rather than milk, caramel consists of sugar and water.
– Cajeta: Made of sweetened, caramelized goat’s milk, cajeta is darker and thicker.
– Butterscotch: Consisting of butter and brown sugar, butterscotch is sweeter yet more subtle.
Get the Dirt
Whether you want to get the kids involved or you’re channelling your inner child, dirt and worms is a dessert that is both decadent and fun. Don’t add the gummy worms before microwaving, unless you want a gummy graveyard – it only takes about 3 minutes for them to melt.
After the microwaved mugs have cooled, add a gummy worm or two and bury with an extra crushed chocolate crème sandwich cookie.
