Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips (optional for garnish)
- 1 dollop Whipped cream (optional for serving)
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe mug or small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
Slowly add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to ensure there are no lumps.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Carefully remove it and give it a good stir.
Return the mug or bowl to the microwave and heat for another 30-60 seconds, stopping to stir every 15 seconds, until the pudding thickens. Keep an eye on it to prevent overflow.
Once the pudding is thick and creamy, carefully remove it from the microwave (it will be hot). Stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the pudding cool for 1-2 minutes if desired. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Top with a sprinkle of chocolate chips and a dollop of whipped cream if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
