02 - Add milk to the crushed cookies and stir until fully soaked forming a thick paste.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's genuinely faster than scrolling through your phone, which means no excuses when a chocolate craving strikes.
  • The Oreos do most of the heavy lifting flavor-wise, so even if you're not a seasoned baker, you'll get rich, fudgy results.
  • You dirty exactly one mug and one fork, making cleanup almost meaningless.
  • It tastes indulgent enough to feel like you're cheating, even though you're not really.
02 -
  • Every microwave is different, so the first time you make this, start at 1 minute 15 seconds and check it—overcooking it turns it rubbery, undercooking leaves raw egg texture.
  • The cake will continue cooking a tiny bit as it cools, so it should look *slightly* underdone when you pull it out of the microwave.
03 -
  • Stir the batter a few extra times after adding the egg to make sure it's truly mixed; small pockets of unmixed egg can throw off the texture.
  • If your Oreos are stale, they actually work better because they soak up the milk faster and integrate more seamlessly into the cake.
