Method
1: Beat egg white and sugar together for 30 seconds using an electric beater or whisk.
2: Combine milk with melted margarine then pour into bowl and combine.
3: Add almond meal and vanilla essence and blend with mix.
4: Sift flour into bowl then gently fold ingredients together using a wooden spoon. DO NOT BEAT as this will make the pudding tough. The least the mixture is moved the lighter the pudding.
5: Coat 2 ramekin dishes (7cm) with cooking spray then spread 1 tablespoon of jam over the base of each ramekin. Pour equal amounts of mixture over jam in each ramekin.
6: Place dishes into microwave (1,000 watt) and cook on high for 1 minute 30 seconds. You will know when cooked by touching the top, if it is still a little sticky then microwave a further 3-5 seconds. Let rest for 3 minutes before turning out onto dessert bowl. Best served warm.
NOTE: Ideal with low fat custard, low fat ice-cream or Light Dairy Whip. Not included in nutritional information below.
