# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time than waiting for delivery and tastes like you actually tried.
  • You can make it with whatever berries are lurking in your freezer without a trip to the store.
  • Theres no sharing required because its perfectly portioned for one glorious moment of solitude.
02 -
  • Do not overfill the mug or the batter will overflow in the microwave, and trust me, thats a mess you dont want to clean.
  • If your berries are very tart, add an extra teaspoon of sugar to the batter or youll pucker through the whole thing.

  • Microwave times vary wildly, so start with 1 minute 30 seconds and add time in 10 second bursts until the top is just set.
  • Let the mug sit for a full 2 minutes after cooking so the batter finishes steaming and the berries cool just enough to eat without burning your mouth.
