Recipe View 2 mins In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until they become pale and slightly frothy. Temper the eggs by gradually whisking in ⅓ cup of the hot milk mixture. Then, pour the tempered egg mixture back into the remaining milk mixture, whisking until fully combined and smooth. Microwave on high until the custard thickens further and coats the back of a spoon (approximately 2 minutes). Allow to cool slightly.

Recipe View 30 mins Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed. Transfer the custard to a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until completely chilled, before using as a filling.

For an extra smooth custard, consider using a whisk with silicone-coated wires to prevent scratching your microwave-safe bowl.
Experiment with different extracts! Almond, lemon, or even a touch of rose water can create unique and delightful flavor profiles.
If your custard develops any lumps, simply whisk vigorously or pass it through a fine-mesh sieve to achieve a perfectly smooth texture.
Be sure to let the custard cool completely before filling your cake or cupcakes, as warm custard can make your frosting melt or become soggy.

    The custard was a bit too thick for my liking. Next time, I'll use a little less flour.

    This recipe is a lifesaver! I've always struggled with custard, but the microwave method makes it so easy and foolproof.

    I love the tip about using different extracts. I tried almond extract, and it was absolutely delicious!
