01 - 4 Oreo sandwich cookies
02 - 3 tablespoons milk (whole, 2%, or plant-based)

→ Optional Add-Ins

03 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Place the Oreo cookies in a microwave-safe mug and crush thoroughly with a fork or spoon until fine crumbs form.

03 - If desired, mix in baking powder and sugar to lighten and sweeten, then fold in chocolate chips for enhanced richness.

05 - Allow the cake to cool for 1 minute before consuming. Optionally, top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or additional crushed Oreos.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready before you can even grab a spoon, perfect for those sudden chocolate emergencies.
  • The kitchen stays almost clean, which is half the battle of late-night desserts.
  • It tastes genuinely decadent despite being basically a microwave hack with Oreos.
02 -
  • Overcooking is the enemy here; a couple of seconds too long and you'll have a rubbery cake, so it's better to pull it out slightly underdone and let it keep cooking from residual heat.
  • Plant-based milk works just as well as dairy, and you can swap regular Oreos for any sandwich cookie you love if you want to experiment.
03 -
  • If your microwave is particularly powerful, start at 1 minute and check it; some microwaves need barely 45 seconds while others prefer the full 1.5 minutes.
  • Vegan versions work beautifully—just swap in plant-based milk and find vegan sandwich cookies, and you won't lose any of that fudgy richness.
