I spent quite a lot of time recently learning how to make tapioca in the mwave - it is a favorite comfort food of my husband, and he asks where it is when it has been a while, so I probably make it every other week or so. You're so right about the 2 qt measure, it is so necessary to have the depth of that container to prevent boil-overs - and even then, you really need to watch it. My microwave tapioca will be one of my first featured recipes when I get my blog up and running. (I'm still searching for a good wordpress template.) Another great recipe! I'm quickly becoming a fan.

You might try the <a href="http://www.salad-in-a-jar.com/family-recipes/microwave-lemon-curd-with-lime-and-orange-versions" rel="nofollow">microwave lemon curd</a> on my website. It's also fabulous and just as easy. I'm afraid adding very much lemon to a cream sauce would cause it to curdle. Just a hunch. Let me know if you try it. Have not tried lemon with this version.

This recipe is amazing! I have tried custard recipes for years and something always goes wrong... it's too lumpy, it burns, it never sets. But this is idiot proof! Thank you so much for sharing! OMG!

My son is the pudding/custard maker in our house so I'll pass this along to him. Mimi I love using the microwave to cook as opposed to just reheating or melting.
