Ingredients

2 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Splenda granular (or any preferred sweetener)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Nutmeg or cinnamon, for sprinkling

Instructions

Prepare Custard Mixture:
- In a custard or dessert dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Sweeten and Flavor:
- Add Splenda (or your chosen sweetener) and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly.
Incorporate Cream:
- Stir in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Add Seasoning:
- Sprinkle a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon over the top of the custard mixture for added flavor.
Microwave Cooking:
- Place the dish in the microwave and cook on 50% power for about 5-6 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage and the thickness of the custard.
Check for Doneness:
- The custard will rise and then settle as it cooks. To check if it’s done, insert a knife into the center of the custard; it should come out clean when the custard is fully set.
Serve:
- Once cooked, allow the custard to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled.
