# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's genuinely faster than ordering dessert delivery, and tastes infinitely better.
  • One mug means one dish, and your kitchen stays almost spotless.
  • The texture—cakey base, jammy berries, crumbly topping—feels indulgent without the fuss.
02 -
  • The microwave continues cooking for a few seconds after it stops, so it's better to undershoot by 10 seconds and add time than to end up with a dense, rubbery top.
  • Frozen berries actually work beautifully here because they release moisture as they thaw, creating a jammy filling without any extra effort.
03 -
  • If your microwave runs particularly hot, start checking at 1 minute 15 seconds—knowing your appliance's personality is half the battle.
  • A splash of cream or crème fraîche on top adds richness, and a pinch of cinnamon in the batter brings unexpected depth.
