Chocolate Pudding

By kelseyll

"This pudding whips up in no time in your microwave... great for when you're craving a quick chocolate fix! Stir in some chopped bananas before chilling for a nutrition boost."

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa and cornstarch. Whisk in milk a little at a time so the mixture does not have any dry lumps.

Place in the microwave, and cook for 3 minutes on high. Stir, then cook at 1 minute intervals, stirring between cooking times for 2 to 4 minutes, or until shiny and thick. Stir in vanilla.

Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, and chill in the refrigerator. Serve cold.
