3-Ingredient Microwave Custard Pudding
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Selati Pure White Sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cream
- Serving suggestion:
- Fresh mint leaves
- *Microwave cooking times may vary due to wattage; use the timings below as a guide.
Method
- Lightly grease 2 small microwave-safe ramekins with non-stick cooking spray. *Chef’s Tip: Mugs can also be used!
- Add 1 tablespoon of Selati Pure White Sugar and 1 teaspoon of water to each ramekin. Microwave both ramekins at medium heat for about 3 minutes or until completely dissolved and golden brown.
- Swirl each ramekin to spread the caramel evenly over the base. Set aside to cool and allow the caramel to harden.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the eggs to a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Whisk until smooth before adding the cream and whisking once more until combined. Sieve the custard base before pouring it into the ramekins. *Chef’s Tip: Add a teaspoon of vanilla essence to add extra flavour to the pudding.
- Divide the custard base in between the ramekins over the hardened caramel. Microwave the custard for 3-4 minutes or until the custard is completely firm to the touch. *Chef’s Tip: Please reduce your microwave wattage to 500 to stop the pudding from splitting.
- Allow the custard to cool at room temperature before placing the ramekins into the fridge to set for about 2 hours.
- When ready to serve, use a dessert plate to cover the top of the ramekin and flip it over carefully for the custard to fall onto the plate.*Chef’s tip: Dip the ramekin bases in a small bowl of hot water for 3-5 seconds to help loosen the custard, if necessary.
- Slowly remove the ramekin revealing the custard. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, serve and ENJOY!
