Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional for topping)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually whisk in milk a little at a time to form a smooth mixture with no lumps.
Microwave the mixture on high power for 1 minute. Remove, whisk well, and microwave for another minute.
Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, whisking thoroughly after each interval, until the pudding thickens. This process typically takes 3 to 4 minutes total, depending on your microwave wattage.
Once thickened, stir the butter and vanilla extract into the pudding until fully combined and smooth.
Divide the pudding into individual serving dishes or leave it in the bowl to cool slightly.
Optionally, top with chocolate chips for an extra indulgent touch.
Serve warm for a comforting dessert or chill in the refrigerator for a cool, creamy treat.
