How to Make Microwave Creme Caramel
- **Make the Caramel:** In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave on high for 6-8 minutes, or until a deep amber caramel forms, swirling occasionally. Carefully pour an equal amount of caramel into four 6-ounce ramekins.
- **Prepare the Custard:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and ¼ cup granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
- **Combine Ingredients:** Gradually whisk in 1 cup whole milk until smooth and well combined.
- **Strain (Optional):** For a super-smooth texture, strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring jug.
- **Fill Ramekins:** Carefully pour the custard mixture into the prepared ramekins, dividing evenly.
- **Microwave:** Microwave on medium power (50%) for 10-12 minutes, or until the custard is just set but still slightly wobbly in the center. Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; start with 10 minutes and check for doneness.
- **Rest:** Let the Crème Caramel stand in the ramekins for 10 minutes to finish setting.
- **Chill & Serve:** Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled. To serve, run a thin knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert onto serving plates.
