Chocolate Pudding in a Mug

Chocolate Pudding in a Mug offers a quick and creamy dessert made by combining bittersweet chocolate chips, cornstarch, salt, vanilla extract, and milk. Microwave cooking gradually thickens the mixture into a smooth pudding with rich chocolate flavor and a velvety texture. This mug-sized pudding is easy to prepare, making it a convenient sweet snack or dessert. Whipped cream on top adds lightness and contrast.

Description

The recipe begins by mixing chocolate chips and cornstarch in a large microwave-safe mug, then adding salt, vanilla, and milk. Initial microwaving softens and melts the chocolate while activating the cornstarch to thicken the mixture. Frequent whisking between short microwave intervals helps achieve a smooth texture and prevents lumps or overheating. The result is a thickened chocolate pudding with a glossy finish.

Microwave times depend on wattage and mug size, so monitoring and adjusting cook time is advised to avoid boiling over or undercooking. The pudding is best served warm, optionally topped with whipped cream to add a creamy contrast to the slightly dense texture of the chocolate base.
