Microwave chocolate pudding is a pudding made with sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and cornstarch. It is prepared in a microwave.

• ⅓ cup (80 g) white granulated sugar or sugar substitute
• ¼ cup (60 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 Tbsp cornstarch
• ⅛ tsp salt

• 2 cups (480 ml) milk or soy milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract or imitation vanilla

1. In a 1-qt microwave-safe bowl, mix the dry ingredients together.
2. Add the cold milk and mix well with a small wire whisk or an electric mixer until all the cocoa lumps have dissolved.
3. Microwave in the bowl, on high (100%) power, for 3 minutes. Stir well.
4. Microwave, again on high power, for an additional 4–6 minutes, stirring after each minute of cooking.
5. Remove the bowl from the microwave oven and stir in the vanilla.
6. Pour the result into 4 small custard cups and chill before serving.

• A microwave-safe lid can be placed, slightly ajar, on the bowl while the pudding is cooking. This will prevent the pudding from splattering all over the microwave.

• Keep a close watch on the pudding during the actual cooking, as it can easily boil over.
