This is a yummy, quick dessert.Ingredients (Serves 2)
2 tablespoon sugar
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Method
1. Place 1 tablespoon sugar, with a splash of water in 2 cups/ramekins.
2. Microwave each cup until sugar syrup turns amber colour. (See note)
3. Beat egg, milk, sugar and vanilla.
4. Pour pudding mix into each cup
5. Microwave on medium heat until set. (Takes about 60-90 seconds)
6. Cool for 20 minutes.
7. Serve warm or put in the fridge, for a chilled dessert later.
Notes
- The first time, requires a bit of patience to work out the right timings for your own microwave.
- Making the caramel can be tricky. Microwave in bursts of 30 seconds. Once sugar starts changing colour microwave in bursts of 5-10 seconds.
- You can also put all the sugar in one cup and make the caramel in that cup and then divide it. This is often easier as the sugar won't burn as quickly.
- To tell if the pudding is set, run a knife or a spoon down the edge of the pudding, if it is still runny microwave it again. Its normal to have some condensed water around the edges but if it looks milky then the pudding has not set completely.
that looks really good. I want to try it!
ReplyDeleteand. challenge accepted :P hahahaha
splash of water in two cups?
ReplyDeleteyou can add a tablespoon of water.
Deleteas for the two cups. this can be done in one cup instead. and you can have one large pudding.
alternatively you can make the caramel in one cup and then pour half into the second cup.
hope that makes more sense.
