This recipe makes rich and fragrant baked Italian pudding easily in a toaster oven. Soften the cream cheese in the microwave, then add sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Strain the pudding mixture into ramekins, place them on a baking sheet lined with kitchen paper, pour in hot water, and bake in a toaster oven for about 15 minutes. The trick is to cover them with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent them from browning too much. They are done when the surface is jiggly. Let them cool slightly, then chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Drizzle with maple syrup just before serving for a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture and fragrant flavor. It's quicker and easier to make than in an oven, making it the perfect dessert for your home café.
