Some extra tips:
The microwave is not a miniature oven, and it is important to remember that.
The desserts that come out best are those in a small format: a sponge cake in a cup, a slice of brownie, a quick cream.
The ideal is to bake them in ceramic or silicone containers and do it in short batches, checking the texture at each step: the heat penetrates unevenly, and an extra minute can make all the difference.
A trick is to let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving: the residual heat settles them, resulting in a juicier crumb. And so that the result is not flat, always add a fresh detail at the end: a handful of red fruits, a spoonful of Greek yogurt or some lemon zest. The dessert thus becomes more than just an express craving.
