Microwave for about 5 minutes, stirring once or twice in between, until the custard thickens.

Step 3: Assemble
Pour the warm custard over the prepared caramel.

Smooth the surface gently.
Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
Step 4: Serve
Serve chilled and enjoy the rich caramel layer with every spoonful.
