- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Slowly add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Carefully remove it and give it a good stir.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Once the pudding is thick and creamy, carefully remove it from the microwave (it will be hot). Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
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!
