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

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 3

Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes. Remove the bowl and whisk thoroughly.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once the pudding is thickened, stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 6

Let the pudding cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm or chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
