Description

A quick and creamy coconut cream pie mug dessert that tastes like the real thing! Perfect single-serve treat ready in just 5 minutes using your microwave. This easy mug dessert satisfies coconut cream pie cravings without making a whole pie.


Ingredients

Scale

1/4 cup coconut cream (full-fat canned)

2 tablespoons whole milk

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 large egg yolk

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch of salt

2 tablespoons shredded coconut flakes

2 tablespoons whipped cream (for topping)

1 teaspoon toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)


Instructions

1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together coconut cream, milk, and sugar until sugar dissolves completely

2. Add egg yolk and whisk until well combined and smooth

3. Sprinkle flour over mixture and whisk until no lumps remain

4. Add vanilla extract and salt, then stir in coconut flakes

5. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent overflow

6. Remove from microwave and let cool for 2-3 minutes (it will continue to thicken as it cools)

7. Top with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes before serving


Notes

Microwave power varies – start with 1 minute and add 15-second intervals if needed

The mixture should be set but still slightly jiggly when done

For dairy-free version, substitute coconut milk for regular milk

Can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated for 20-30 seconds

For extra coconut flavor, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to the mixture
