Microwave Fluffy Chocolate Pudding 1 Point Recipes

DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE PUDDING FOR ONE!

Steps:

• Mix together milk, salt and cornstarch in microwave safe bowl.
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Put in microwave uncovered for 40 seconds on HIGH.
• Stir until chips are well melted& blended.
• Heat another 30 seconds.
• Keep a close eye on it so it doesn't bubble over.
• At this point if it has not thickened, (will depend on wattage of microwave) keep going for 20 seconds intervals, stirring between each one until thickened.
• Do keep an eye on it at all times.
• Eat it right away (which is the way I like it) or let it cool.

MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa and cornstarch. Whisk in milk a little at a time so the mixture doesn't have any dry lumps. Place in microwave and cook for 3 minutes on HIGH. Stir, then cook at 1 minute intervals, stirring after each minute for 2-4 additional minutes, or until shiny and thick. Stir in vanilla extract. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on surface and chill in the refrigerator. Serve cold.
• **I LOVE dark chocolate and use the Hershey's Special Dark cocoa to make DARK chocolate pudding! OMG -- it's to die for! :-)

MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• Lighter version:.
• In a large microwave-safe container, mix cornstarch, sugar, and cocoa. Use a whisk to blend mixture thoroughly. Add milk, a little at a time and whisk together until smooth.
• Put in microwave, cook on medium power for 5 minutes. Take out and whisk mixture smooth.
• Place pudding back in microwave, cook another 4 minutes, then take out and whisk as before.
• Stir in vanilla. Put in dessert dishes, if desired, and chill.
• Richer Dark Chocolate version:.
• After you take the pudding out of the microwave the second time in Step 4, add the grated chocolate and whisk the mixture. The chocolate should melt, but if it doesn't, cook for another minute or so on low heat.
• The chocolate seems to thicken the pudding further and you will probably need to add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk to thin it.
• Stir in vanilla. Put in dessert dishes, if desired, and chill. I think it tastes better slighly warm, however.
