- Prepare the Custard Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
- Add sugar to the beaten eggs and mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
- Gradually add milk to the egg-sugar mixture, stirring continuously.
- Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Strain the Mixture:
- Strain the custard mixture using a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
- Microwave Cooking:
- Pour the strained custard mixture into a microwave-safe bowl or individual ramekins.
- Microwave the mixture on medium power for 2-3 minutes, stopping to stir every minute. Keep an eye on it to avoid overflowing.
- Continue microwaving and stirring until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This usually takes about 6-8 minutes in total, but it can vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.
- Chilling:
- Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the microwave and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or until it is completely chilled.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, your egg pudding is ready to be served. You can enjoy it as is or top it with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
Remember that microwave cooking times can vary, so it’s essential to keep a close eye on the pudding to prevent overcooking. Adjust the cooking time based on your microwave’s wattage and the desired consistency of the pudding.
