Ingredients
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 25 grams Cornstarch
- 480 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 15 grams Butter
- 0 Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 0 Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe glass bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and cornstarch until fully combined.
Step 2
Gradually add the whole milk to the dry ingredients while whisking constantly to form a smooth mixture with no lumps.
Step 3
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high power for 2 minutes. Stop to whisk thoroughly to prevent clumps from forming.
Step 4
Continue microwaving the mixture in 1-minute intervals, whisking vigorously after each interval, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4-5 minutes total.
Step 5
Once thickened, remove the bowl from the microwave and immediately whisk in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated and silky smooth.
Step 6
Pour the hot pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins and let it cool slightly. For a festive chilled version, refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Step 7
Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired, before serving. Enjoy!
