Cookies and Cream Mug CakeYield:1Prep Time:15 minsCook Time:1.5 minsTotal Time:16.5 minsingredients:For the cake:5 1/2 tbsp flour4 tbsp sugar1/8 tsp baking powder1 egg3 tbsp milk3 tbsp oil2 oreosFor the frosting:1 cup of heavy whipped cream2 1/2 tbsp sugar3 oreos, crushed into fine pieces (I ran mine through a food processor. the cookie must be crushed enough so that it fits through the piping tip)directions:1. Mix all ingredients for the cake in an oversized mug except the oreos. After batter is smooth, add in the oreos and crush oreos into batter with a metal spoon. Cook for approximately 1 1/2 minutes in microwave. Check on middle of cake. If not done, cook for about 20 more seconds. Careful not to overcook or cake becomes rubbery. Mine was done at 1 1/2 minutes.2. While cake is cooling, making the frosting. Whip the heavy cream and sugar on high speed. Crush oreos separately in a food processor. Oreo crumbs must be fine enough that they fit through piping tip if you are piping the frosting. After the heavy cream becomes thick and forms peaks, gently fold in the crushed oreos before placing frosting into piping bag. The recipe makes more frosting than needed for one serving but it's hard to make a one serving frosting.

Ingredients 3/4 cup flour 4 cups whole milk 2 tablespoons butter 3/4 cup sugar 1 cup Blueberry smoothie (or juice) 1 cup Mango smoothie (or juice) 1 cup Raspberry smoothie (or juice)Method1. In a medium pot, reduce the smoothies (or juices) to 1/3 cup. Set aside and let cool.2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
