Microwave Pudding

A lot of what I have been doing to occupy my time lately has been cooking and trying new recipes. Recently, I discovered a recipe for chocolate pudding made from scratch in the MICROWAVE! I know, I can't believe it either.

So anyway, this is my blog, and I am gonna do whatever I want with it, and right now I want to share this recipe.

Microwave Pudding
3/4 cup sugar
2 TBS cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups milk
2 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 well beaten egg
2 TBS butter
1 tsp vanilla

1. Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in one quart microwave safe bowl. Slowly add 2 cups of milk, whisking to prevent lumping.
2. Microwave on high power for 6 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes. Pay close attention, because if you are not paying attention it will boil over.
3. Add 2 oz chocolate, stirring vigorously to blend.
4. Temper egg by adding a small amount of pudding to the egg. I usually add about 3 big spoonfuls. Add egg&pudding mixture to pudding. Whisk together well.
5. Microwave an additional 6 minutes on Power 7, stirring every two minutes, or until desired thickness is reached.
6. Add butter and vanilla, mixing well.
7. Serve hot or cold. ENJOY!!!!

If you decide to give it a try, let me know how it goes for you!
