Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe mug or small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Microwave for 60 seconds, then stir until smooth and fully melted.

  3. Step 3

    Add sugar and egg, whisk until combined and no streaks remain.

  4. Step 4

    Fold in flour and a pinch of salt until just incorporated.

  5. Step 5

    Microwave batter for 70 seconds — top should look set but center will jiggle.

  6. Step 6

    Cool for 1 minute, then top with freeze-dried strawberries and serve.
