Microwave Mug Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Report
The Microwave Mug Pumpkin Pie offers a single-serving dessert with a quick pumpkin custard filling atop a crushed cookie crumb base, cooked in a mug. Pumpkin puree is mixed with egg, milk, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla to create the filling, which sets after microwaving for about two minutes. This method yields a moist, spiced pie with the convenience of mug preparation.
Description
This recipe starts by combining pumpkin puree, a whole egg, milk, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla in a bowl to form a smooth pumpkin custard. The bottom of a microwave-safe mug is lined with cookies crushed into crumbs, serving as a quick crust. The pumpkin mixture is poured over the crumbs and microwaved incrementally until set, with the top possibly remaining slightly damp but firming upon cooling.
The final dish resembles a small pumpkin pie with a spiced filling balanced by the sweet, crunchy cookie base. It's a practical way to enjoy pumpkin pie flavor without heating a full oven or making a traditional crust.
