Tips & Tricks!

• The Ombar pistachio chocolate is one of my absolute favourites! https://shop.ombar.com?sca_ref=10364365.JmuxIT9EdR but any chocolate chips will work in this recipe and you can add as many as you feel like eating!

• The shorter you microwave for, the gooier your cake will be and the longer you microwave for, the more spongy your cake will be

• A scoop of vegan ice cream on top really levels up your mug cake!

• Make sure you use a larger sized mug!

• This is my giant jar of pistachio butter! https://amzn.to/4a2kBN0 but you can also get a smaller, regular sized jar! https://amzn.to/45zkc3A
