Single-serving recipes make it easier to choose a dessert based on what you feel like eating at that moment.
Sometimes you want dessert, but making an entire cake or batch of brownies feels like far too much effort.
You want one serving, made now, with ingredients you probably already have at home.
That is where single-serving desserts make sense. Instead of adapting a family-sized recipe and trying to work out what half an egg looks like, these recipes are designed around one portion from the start.
The idea has become increasingly popular online, with entire collections devoted to desserts for one and readers specifically looking for recipes that do not leave them with a tray of leftovers.
