Ingredients
  • 1 Egg
  • 3/4 cup Half and half or milk
  • 2 1/2 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dark rum
  • 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
  1. 1
    Crack the egg into a 2-cup microwave-safe measure and beat it thoroughly with a fork until the yolk and white are fully combined.
  2. 2
    Add the half-and-half and sugar to the beaten egg, whisking vigorously until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. 3
    Microwave the mixture on 70% power for 3 to 3-1/2 minutes, stopping to stir rapidly with a fork every minute to prevent curdling.
  4. 4
    Continue microwaving and stirring until the sauce thickens to a custard-like consistency that coats the back of the spoon.
  5. 5
    Remove the sauce from the microwave and let it cool slightly, about 1 minute, so it is warm but not hot.
  6. 6
    Stir in the dark rum, vanilla extract, and a fresh grating of nutmeg to taste until fully incorporated.
  7. 7
    Serve the sauce warm over pie, cake, or ice cream, or let it cool to room temperature for a thicker consistency.
