Microwave Chocolate Pudding

An online recipe with instructions for making Microwave Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients

- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 egg yolks (or 1 beaten egg)
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla

Instructions

In a 1 quart casserole, blend the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk, mixing well. Microwave on High for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring well every 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture is smooth, thick, and clear. Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl. Quickly stir a small amount of the hot pudding into the egg yolk, and blend well (you need to use only a very small amount of pudding, and blend very quickly, or you will end up with scrambled eggs). Blend the egg mixture into the casserole of pudding and mix well. Microwave at medium high for an additional 1 to 3 minutes, stirring after each minute, until smooth and thick. Stir in butter and vanilla and blend until butter is melted. Serve hot or cold.
