Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large microwave-safe mug (at least 12 ounces), whisk together the cornstarch, cocoa powder, and sugar until no lumps remain.
  2. Pour the milk into the mug and stir vigorously until the dry ingredients are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Microwave on HIGH for 90 seconds, or until the mixture bubbles and thickens significantly.
  4. Remove from microwave and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and white chocolate chips until melted and evenly distributed.
  5. Let the pudding cool for a few minutes before eating, or chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour for a firmer texture.

Note

For a richer texture, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream or use whole milk.

If the pudding seems too runny after microwaving, stir vigorously for 30 seconds; it will continue to thicken as it cools.

You can customize the "polka dots" by using dark chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or sprinkles instead of white chocolate.

Ensure your mug is large enough to prevent boiling over during the microwaving process.

This pudding is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently if desired.
