How to cook dessert in the microwave?
It is not possible to make fondant with flowing chocolate filling in its classic form using a microwave oven. The technology for heating the products will be to blame for this. Unlike the oven, the food in it heats up more strongly in the center, which does not allow you to get a liquid center, but by making some changes to the recipe for popular cupcakes in microwave mugs, you can get a dessert very similar to fondant.
For chocolate dessert in the microwave oven you should take:
- 40 g cocoa powder;
- 40 g powdered sugar;
- 40 g flour;
- 40 g vegetable oil;
- 60 ml milk;
- 20 g dark chocolate.
How to make chocolate fondant in the microwave:
- We prepare two ceramic or glass cups with a volume of 250-300 ml each. Mix the dry dough ingredients in a separate container, then combine them with milk and butter.
- Divide the batter evenly into cups. Then place a small piece of chocolate in the center of each of them. It is he who, having melted, will not allow the center to harden.
- Prepare fondant at the maximum power of the device (950 W) for 1 minute and 10 seconds. Serve directly in the cup in which the dessert was prepared, sprinkled with cocoa or powdered sugar on top.
