In a microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl, heat the milk for 1 minute on high power until warm but not boiling.
Whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla essence in a medium bowl until well combined. Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
To prepare the caramel layer, spoon 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce into the bottom of each microwave-safe ramekin or small bowl.
Strain the custard mixture through a fine sieve into the ramekins to ensure a smooth texture.
Cover each ramekin loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe plate to prevent splattering.
Microwave the ramekins one at a time on medium power (50% power) for 6-8 minutes, checking every 2 minutes. The custard is done when the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
Carefully remove the ramekin from the microwave (use oven mitts!) and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set completely.
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the ramekin to loosen the custard. Invert onto a plate to release the caramel-topped pudding. Enjoy!
