Hasty Chocolate Pudding

There is no better pudding than homemade, if you ask me.  I usually make vanilla pudding, but once in a while I'll make chocolate.  This Hasty Chocolate Pudding is the best homemade chocolate pudding I've ever made!  It's quick - cooks in the microwave! - and easy.

 

1/2 cup white sugar 
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder  

3 tablespoons cornstarch 

2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
2 cups milk

Combine dry ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and whisk until smooth.  Slowly whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps.  Place in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes; stir.  Cook in additional 1 minute increments (2 to 4 more minutes) until the pudding is thick and shiny.  Add vanilla and stir well.  Place plastic wrap on the surface of the pudding (to prevent a film from forming) and refrigerate until cold.
