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

1. Prepare Custard Mixture:

   • In a custard or dessert dish, beat the eggs until well combined.

2. Sweeten and Flavor:

   • Add Splenda (or your chosen sweetener) and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly.

3. Incorporate Cream:

   • Stir in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

4. Add Seasoning:

   • Sprinkle a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon over the top of the custard mixture for added flavor.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Serve:

   • Once cooked, allow the custard to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled.
