No Bake - Refrigerator: Mug O’Chocolate Cream Cake

 

Now, when I look at an interesting recipe, I think, "Can I make this into a Mug Recipe?"

Lucky for me, with this recipe, you can make a mug version.

Make 1/4 cup of strong coffee:

Add 2 heaping Tspns of instant coffee to 1/4 cup of hot water.

Mix thoroughly. 

Whip until it froths.

I liked it. It was creamy, cakey, chocolatey, and coffeey.

Next time, I won't crush the sugar cookies into crumbs, I'll keep them a little chunky.
