As a college student, I am always looking for a sweet snack, however, living in a dorm can make it difficult to make anything. Any recipes I make have to be extremely simple with minimal ingredients as I only have a mini-fridge and a microwave accessible to me. These two recipes are the easiest dorm desserts I have made as each recipe requires less than 5 ingredients and only needs a microwave.
Chocolate-covered Strawberries
Ingredients
Instructions
Melt the package of chocolate in a microwave for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate then continue melting in 30 second intervals to ensure the chocolate is completely melted.
Wash the strawberries and cut off the stems.
Place the strawberries on a plate and drizzle the chocolate on top of the strawberries with a spoon (you can also dip them into the chocolate).
Allow the strawberries to set for at least 1 hour and enjoy!
Chocolate Mug Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
Beat the egg in a microwave-safe container.
Add the cocoa powder and the maple syrup to the mug and mix until well combined.
Microwave at full power for about 40 seconds or until fully cooked. If you stick a fork in the cake, it should come out clean.
Microwave the chocolate in a separate container in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted. Pour the melted chocolate on top of the cake. Enjoy!
