Microwave Milk Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch. With a hand mixer, beat in milk and egg yolks until smooth. Microwave on medium for 5 minutes. Beat well with mixer. Microwave on high for 2 minutes; stir. Blend in butter and vanilla. Pour into serving dishes; cool.

Steps:

• Put the butter in a 1-litre baking dish and microwave on High for 30 secs-1 min until melted. Add 1½ bananas, mash into the melted butter, then add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, eggs and milk. Mix together well.
• Slice the remaining banana over the top, then return to the microwave and cook on High for 8 mins until cooked through and risen. Serve warm, dusted with icing sugar, if you like, with a drizzle of toffee sauce and a scoop of ice cream.

Steps:

• Combine water, rice and salt in a 2 to 2 1/2 cup microwave-safe bowl. Cover. Microwave on HIGH for 5-6 minutes or until mixture boils. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Microwave on HIGH for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until rice is tender. Transfer to a large (12 cup) microwave-safe container.
• Stir in the butter, sugar and milk. Cover. Microwave on HIGH for 8-10 minutes or until mixture boils. Beat the eggs and blend in a small amount of the hot mixture into the eggs, beating well. (This will prevent the eggs from curdling). Return to the large container, blending in well.
• Microwave on HIGH, uncovered, 1 to 1/2 minutes, or until mixture bubbles around the edge, stirring once.
• Stir in vanilla and transfer to serving dish; sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired. Cool - pudding will thicken as it cools. Serve warm or chilled.
• Note1: Microwave ovens vary considerably in power. Watch carefully the first time you make this and note the times needed in your microwave oven. My current microwave is 1200 watts. I set it to power setting 6, which is 60% of full strength or equivalent to 720 watts. I then just follow the original timing. If you calculate whatever power setting gets you closest to 700 watts, you can do the same.
• Note2: I use a microwave popcorn popper to cook this - it works beautifully. Be sure your container is big - you don't want this boiling over in your microwave!

Steps:

• In a microwavable bowl, put the jam or syrup so that it covers the bottom. This will be the top of your cake.
• Here it is best to use a food processor, although if you want to you can do it by hand. Put all of the remaining basic ingredients into a bowl (or the mixer) with one of the flavour ingredients. If you want to, you can keep it plain.
• Mix or blend all of the ingredients together until smooth.
• Put in bowl on top of jam/syrup and microwave without a lid on full for 5 mins. Leave for 1-2 mins to stand.

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa and cornstarch. Whisk in milk a little at a time so the mixture does not have any dry lumps.
• Place in the microwave, and cook for 3 minutes on high. Stir, then cook at 1 minute intervals, stirring between cooking times for 2 to 4 minutes, or until shiny and thick. Stir in vanilla.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, and chill in the refrigerator. Serve cold.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and milk gradually, so as not to curdle the butter. Sift in the flour, and fold in gently. Transfer to a 1 pint microwave-safe bowl.
• Cover, and cook for 3 1/2 minutes on full powder, or until the pudding appears set when gently jiggled, and the top is sticky. Serve hot.
