Quick and Easy Chocolate Pudding

This is a rich and delicious pudding that you make in your microwave. Tastes better than the instant pudding you buy in a box. For an extra treat, you can fold in bananas, or, fold in whipped cream to create a yummy chocolate mousse.
NEED:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a microwave safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa and the cornstarch. Whisk in the milk, a little bit at a time, so the mixture doesn’t have any dry lumps.
Place the pudding in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high. Stir, then cook at 1 minute intervals, stirring between cooking times for another 2 to 4 minutes, or until pudding is shiny and thick. Stir in the vanilla.
Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a top layer of skin forming. Chill in the refrigerator. Serve cold.

Enjoy!
