Microwaveable Desserts

I love pie. Any kind of pie. Apple pie, berry pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, pot pie… I’m sure you get the idea. And I’m the only one in my house who likes pie, with the exception of pot pie. I also LOVE easy desserts, especially microwaveable desserts.

My husband and girls love my Gluten-Free Chicken Pot Pie, and they can inhale a whole pot pie in a matter of minutes. But that’s not why we’re here; we are here about MY love for pie – and YOURS!

Since I’m the only one in my house that likes pie I don’t tend to make it unless we’re going to a potluck or dinner party. Otherwise I would end up eating the whole thing and go into a pie-comma.

So how do we pie-lovers enjoy our pie without overindulging? We make a Microwaveable Desserts like this Microwaveable Gluten-Free Berry Pie! It’s like a mug cake, but with pie instead. Genius, right?

This Microwaveable Gluten-Free Berry Pie in a jar is not only super delicious, it’s healthy as well. It’s the perfect dessert for two. You don’t have to top yours with ice cream, but I like to every once in a while for an extra indulgent treat.

There are all kinds of dairy-free, and healthy ice cream options out there, so you’ll have to choose the one that works best for your diet.

fresh berries of choice (or frozen and thawed) – I used a mix of berries

How to make Microwavable Berry Pie

For the filling: divide the berries between two small jars (if you don’t have any jars, you could use mugs). Add 1 teaspoon coconut sugar to each jar and stir to combine.

Spoon the topping onto the top of the berry mixture evenly between the two jars. Using your spoon, press down on the topping until it is flat and compact.
Microwave for 90 seconds. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy it plain or topped with your favorite dairy-free vanilla ice cream.

Wow, this looks so easy and delicious! My whole family loves pie, but I don’t make it very often because making crust is such a hassle. This would be a perfect substitute!

I really like the idea of making this just for 2. We grow a lot of berries every summer so this will be a good one for us to try!

  I’ve used berries that I’ve frozen from the summer harvest. I run them under water for a minute or two to thaw 🙂

Hi! I made it but the topping is soggy and not cooked. Is it because I used the tart red cherries in the can? I squeezed as much liquid out as I could. Any advice would be great! Thanks

- chrystal

  Hi Bete,
  The topping isn’t super crunchy due to microwaving. The steam from the cherries/berries goes up into the topping. With that said, less juice would help that.
  
  Best,
