2 Best Microwavable Holiday Desserts

Christmas is just around the corner, so it’s time to start planning out a perfect meal for all of your friends and family. While a traditional Christmas dinner with roasted turkey, mashed potatoes and cranberries is perfectly acceptable, why not mix things up with the dessert menu this year? Steer clear of eggnog, cheesecake and candy canes and whip up something truly unique instead. You can easily create something delicious this year in minutes using your very own microwave. If you’re searching for some great recipe ideas, check out my list below.

Hot Cocoa Cake

Ingredients:

10 tablespoons of hot cocoa

3 tablespoons of flour

3 tablespoons of oil

2 tablespoons of water

1 egg

A dollop of whipped cream

Instructions:

Mix the flour, hot cocoa and the egg together in a large microwavable coffee mug. Stir everything together well. Then mix in the water and oil. Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for about 3 and half minutes. The cake will rise slightly out of the mug, but once it cools it will shrink down. Let it cool for a couple of minutes, then top it with plenty of whipped cream and voila!

Easy Bake Baked Apples

Ingredients:

1 red apple

2 tablespoons of raisins

1 tablespoon of brown sugar

1 tablespoon of nutmeg

1 tablespoon of water

1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon

Instructions:

First core the apple, while keeping the bottom intact. Next mix the raisins, brown sugar, nutmeg and ground cinnamon together in a small bowl. Then fill the apple with the dry mixture and place it in a microwavable container. Pour the water around the bottom of the apple. Cover the container with plastic wrap and place it in the microwave on high for 1 and half minutes, until the apple is soft. Serve immediately with ice cream if desired.

You don’t have to spend hours and hours of your precious holiday making a delicious treat for your family this year. Spend your time unwrapping that beautiful vintage bird cage your kids bought you this year or kissing your sweetie under the mistletoe instead of making dessert!
