Servings: 2

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)

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

Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high power for 1 minute. Remove and stir thoroughly with a whisk or spoon.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once thickened, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!) and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Let the pudding cool for 5-10 minutes, or serve warm if you prefer.

Step 7

Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of chocolate chips before serving for an extra chocolatey treat!
