I should have stopped when the recipe said to place 2 cups of milk in microwave on high for 4-5 min. I thought "are you kidding? There will be nothing in the cup!" And then how long?? at 3 or 4 level. I did 3 min. at 4 and had a hard curdled mess. YOU need a new updated microwave.

I was looking for an easy custard microwave recipe, and I found it. It's too hot to turn on the oven, and this recipe is the perfect alternative, plus it's done in less than half the time of regular baked custard! I made the recipe as written, except I subbed Torani French Vanilla Sugar Free syrup for the sugar. I made the mistake of not beating the eggs thoroughly enough so the consistency wasn't perfectly smooth. That was my fault, and next time I will beat them better and I'm sure it will be entirely lump free. Also, I used non-fat milk and it came out great. A healthy treat!
