Zubereitung von Easy Microwave Pouring Custard
In a microwave-safe jug, heat 1 cup (240ml) of milk on medium-high for 1 minute.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks and ¼ cup (50g) of granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the warm milk, ensuring it's fully combined.
Microwave uncovered on medium power for 5-7 minutes (adjust time based on your microwave wattage), whisking twice during cooking, until the custard has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Once cooked, cover the custard with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Let the custard cool slightly before serving warm or chilled. Enjoy it plain, with fresh fruit, or alongside homemade meringues (made with the leftover egg whites!) for a complete dessert experience.
