For caramel sauce: Add 1 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp water to your microwave safe bowl. Mix well until dissolveMicrowave caramel sauce for 1 minutes. Stop microwave and then microwave at 10 second intervals checking the sauce after each 10 seconds, until caramel starts to turn color. About half of the sauce should turn a light amber color while the rest remains clear.remove sauce from microwave and swirl a few times until the color evens out. Allow caramel to harden.In a small bowl, add custard ingredients and whisk until smooth. Pass it through mesh strainer.Pour the custard on top of the hardened caramel.Microwave custard for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The top of the custard should be hardened and no longer liquid. If custard is not completely cooked, you can cook another 30 seconds.Place custard into the fridge to set for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.You can flip it upside down before serving.Note :While custard is chilling, it will develop some water around it. This is normal. Do not drain the water out because it will mix with the caramel sauce so that there is enough sauce to cover the custard and plate.
