Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes. Remove the bowl and whisk thoroughly.
Repeat microwaving in 1-minute increments, whisking after each interval, until the pudding thickens. This should take about 6-8 minutes total depending on your microwave's power.
Once the pudding is thickened, stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated and smooth.
Let the pudding cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
