Step 1
Start by mixing the melted ice cream with the flour and baking powder right in a microwave-safe mug. Once everything is combined, stir in the cocoa powder until the batter looks smooth and chocolatey. Pop the mug into the microwave and cook it for about 90 seconds, or until the top looks set and cake-like. Be careful not to overcook it— you want it just done. When it’s ready, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delicious contrast. Enjoy!
