Instructions:
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, corn flour, and salt. Stir well to blend the ingredients together.
-
-
Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to ensure there are no lumps. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
-
Microwave the Pudding: Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on full power for 8-10 minutes. Every 2 minutes, stop and stir the mixture to prevent it from sticking to the sides and to ensure even cooking. After 8 minutes, the pudding should be thickened.
-
Add Chocolate and Butter: While the pudding is still hot, stir in the dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Whisk until the chocolate has melted completely and the pudding is silky smooth.
-
Cool the Pudding: Pour the pudding mixture into individual serving bowls. To prevent a skin from forming on top, cover each bowl with cling film, pressing it gently onto the surface of the pudding. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully set.
-
Serve: Once the pudding is chilled and firm, remove the cling film. Serve your Quick Microwave Chocolate Pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and a few fresh fruits for an added touch of freshness.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can use full-fat milk or add a bit of heavy cream along with the milk.
- Garnish with fresh berries, shaved chocolate, or crushed nuts for a beautiful and tasty finish.
- The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making it a perfect make-ahead dessert.
