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
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
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.
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high power for 1 minute. Remove and stir thoroughly with a whisk or spoon.
Continue heating the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the pudding thickens. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes depending on your microwave.
Once thickened, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!) and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the pudding cool for 5-10 minutes, or serve warm if you prefer.
Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of chocolate chips before serving for an extra chocolatey treat!
