Instructions
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients: Begin by taking a large microwave-safe bowl and combine the cocoa powder, sugar, corn flour, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
-
Incorporate the Milk: Gradually pour in the milk while continuously whisking the mixture. This helps eliminate any lumps that may form, resulting in a smooth pudding base.
-
Microwave Cooking: Place the bowl in the microwave and set it to full power. Heat for 8-10 minutes, stopping every 2 minutes to stir the mixture thoroughly. This process is crucial for even cooking and to prevent scorching. After approximately 8 minutes, the pudding should visibly thicken.
-
Add Chocolate and Butter: Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the microwave and while it’s still hot, add the chopped dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Whisk together until the mixture is velvety and smooth, ensuring that the chocolate and butter are fully melted and integrated.
-
Chill the Pudding: Pour the chocolate pudding mixture into individual serving bowls. To prevent a skin from forming on the surface, cover each bowl with cling film, pressing it directly against the pudding. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, allowing the pudding to set beautifully.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve the pudding chilled. For an added touch of luxury, top with fresh fruits or a dollop of whipped cream. This decadent dessert pairs wonderfully after a meal of Mini Pita Pizza with Tahini Roasted Vegetables and a refreshing Lavender Lemonade Cooler.
Indulge in the comforting embrace of this Quick Microwave Chocolate Pudding, an easy yet elegant finish to any meal, highlighting the joy of chocolate in every spoonful. Whether it’s a family gathering or a quiet night in, this recipe promises to be a sweet sensation that you will return to time and again. Enjoy!
