Chocolate Pudding in a Mug - Microwave
Serves 1
In the early days of microwave ovens, a recipe like this was always part of the demonstrations given by manufacturers’ home economists. It proved how fast and how much fun the microwave could be. It still does.
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
In a large mug (at least 12 ounces), dissolve the cornstarch, cocoa, and sugar in the milk.
-
Microwave on high for 90 seconds, or until mixture boils.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.
Substitutions: Instead of cocoa, use 3 tablespoons chocolate bits. Stir them into the hot pudding with the vanilla. Instead of vanilla, use orange zest, grated or very finely julienned.
