Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
In a microwave-safe glass measuring cup, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave on high for 2-4 minutes, checking every 30 seconds after the 2-minute mark, until the sugar caramelizes to a deep golden brown. Be careful not to overcook. Pour the caramel immediately into four small ramekins, tilting to coat the bottoms evenly. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 cups of whole milk, and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly into the ramekins over the hardened caramel layer.
Cover each ramekin tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap and poke a small hole in the center for ventilation.
Microwave each ramekin individually on medium power (50%) for 3-5 minutes. Check frequently—custard should be set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center. The cooking time may vary depending on the microwave's wattage.
Allow the ramekins to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Run a knife around the edge of each ramekin to loosen the custard. Place a plate on top of the ramekin, invert it, and gently tap to release the crème caramel, allowing the caramel sauce to flow over the custard.
Serve chilled and enjoy your easy microwave crème caramel!
