Instructions:
- Measure out all the ingredients as listed above.
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for a smoother mix.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the 1/3 cup of self-raising flour and 1 cup of sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and pour in the 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 2 eggs, and 1/3 cup of lime juice.
- Whisk the mixture together until it is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Lightly grease your microwave-safe pudding molds or ramekins with butter or a non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
5. Fill Molds:
- Evenly distribute the batter among your prepared molds or ramekins. Fill them about 2/3 of the way full to allow space for the puddings to rise.
- Place the molds into the microwave. If your microwave does not have individualized molds, you may need to cook the puddings in batches.
- Microwave each pudding on high for about 2-3 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave's power. You’ll know the puddings are ready when they have risen and are firm to the touch. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the puddings are done.
- Carefully remove the puddings from the microwave (they will be hot). Let them cool for a few minutes in their molds.
- Once slightly cooled, you can serve the puddings directly in their molds or carefully turn them out onto a plate. Optionally, garnish with lime zest, a drizzle of coconut milk, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
These luscious lime and coconut microwave puddings are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. The tangy lime and creamy coconut milk create a deliciously moist and flavorful pudding that can be enjoyed warm. Whether it's for a quick dessert or a special treat, this recipe is bound to impress.
Lime and coconut microwave puddings FAQ:
Microwave the puddings on high for about 2-3 minutes. Cooking times can vary based on your microwave's wattage, so check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
You can substitute coconut milk with almond milk or whole milk, although this will alter the flavor and richness of the puddings. Adjust sweetness if necessary, as some alternatives may have added sugar.
Store any leftover puddings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave before serving to maintain their softness.
If the puddings are undercooked after the initial 2-3 minutes, microwave them in 15-30 second increments until firm. Be careful not to overcook, as this can dry them out.
This recipe is best made in microwave-safe ramekins or pudding molds. Ensure they are filled about 2/3 full to allow space for rising, typically around 4 to 6 ounces per serving is ideal.
Tips:
- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor, but bottled juice can be a convenient substitute.
- Lightly grease the microwave-safe mugs or bowls to prevent sticking.
- For extra coconut flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of shredded coconut to the batter.
- Check the puddings after one minute of microwaving and then in 30-second intervals to avoid overcooking.
- Let the puddings cool for a minute or two before serving to avoid burning.
