Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 Tablespoon hot fudge sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon flour
  • 1 Tablespoon chocolate malted milk powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • Additional hot fudge sauce and chocolate curls for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix the egg, brown sugar, peanut butter, fudge sauce, flour, malted milk powder and baking powder.
  • Spray two 8 ounce mason jars with nonstick baking spray and divide the batter into the two jars.
  • Place the jars in the microwave for 60-80 seconds.
  • Put one scoop of ice cream into each jar and top with extra hot fudge sauce and chocolate curls.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Microwave Timing: Since microwave wattages can vary, keep an eye on the cake while it's cooking to prevent overcooking. Start with the lower end of the suggested cooking time (60 seconds) and check the consistency. The cake should be firm but still moist. Adjust the cooking time accordingly based on your microwave's power to avoid drying out the cake.
  2. Mixing Consistency: When combining the ingredients in the medium-sized bowl, ensure that they are thoroughly mixed to achieve a smooth and uniform batter. Pay attention to incorporating the peanut butter and hot fudge sauce evenly to distribute their flavors throughout the cake. A well-mixed batter will result in a cohesive and delicious final product.
  3. Serving Presentation: To enhance the presentation of the dessert, consider adding a drizzle of extra-hot fudge sauce and chocolate curls on top of the ice cream before serving. This adds visual appeal and an extra burst of flavor to each bite. Additionally, you can garnish the mason jars with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts or a dollop of whipped cream for added texture and indulgence.
