Ingredients
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup, combine 100 grams of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until the sugar turns a golden caramel color. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
Step 2
Carefully pour the hot caramel into the base of four small microwave-safe ramekins, swirling each dish to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.
Step 3
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine 250 milliliters of milk and 100 milliliters of heavy cream. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until warm but not boiling.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 50 grams of powdered sugar until smooth.
Step 5
Slowly whisk the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture. Stir until fully combined and smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any lumps.
Step 6
Pour the custard mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins over the caramel layer.
Step 7
Place the ramekins in the microwave and cook each one individually on medium power (50%) for 2-3 minutes, or until the custard is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Cooking time may vary based on your microwave.
Step 8
Remove the ramekins from the microwave and allow them to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
Step 9
To serve, run a knife around the edge of each ramekin to loosen the custard. Invert the ramekin onto a plate, allowing the caramel sauce to flow over the top. Enjoy your quick and delicious microwave creme caramel!
