Still Feeling Peckish

Holidays have hit us again. Kid#2 has been hanging round the house and even kid#1 has been home-bound because of wisdom tooth surgery. The problem about the young appetite is that it is often voracious and craves variety. After the kids inhaled the 2 tubs of low carb ice cream barely a day after I had bought them, I knew I needed to make something quick and easy that could pacify the ravenous appetites. Kid#1 has really been on the roll and I’ve watched the batches of homemade yogurt and kaya vanishing from the fridge. He’s not known as the Hoover for nothing.

I had some Ben Banter Chocolate Mousse mix – and I’ve been trying to make sure that I use it up properly; I have a terrible habit of not using up products and ending up with very cluttered shelves. I decided to make mug cake. So far the most mug cakes we have been making were on family holidays where the kids took charge of mug cake making. Microwave mug cakes are the easiest thing to do and easily satisfies any cravings. And it keeps them occupied and momentarily stops them from watching shows on their devices.

I tried to keep this mug cake recipe really simple and with minimal ingredients. It is literally a mix and stir recipe and stick it in the microwave recipe that should work on the road or at home. And because this worked pretty well I probably don’t have to run to the supermarket for more ice cream and just point them to make more mug cake when they get hungry!
