For Optional Whipped Cream:

Instructions

  1. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt until blended.

  2. Stir in ½ cup of the milk and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the egg yolks. Gradually stir in the remaining milk.

  3. Partially cover the bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a gap in 1 side so the steam can escape. If preferred not to use plastic wrap, cover with a paper towel or a plate that is set slightly askew.

  4. In the microwave, cook the mixture for 3 minutes. Remove from the microwave, remove the plastic, and whisk the pudding to distribute the heat.

  5. Partially cover again and microwave for 1 more minute. Stir again.

  6. Continue to microwave in 30-second increments, stirring the pudding between each increment, until the mixture starts bubbling around the edges and the pudding has thickened enough for the whisk to leave a light trail, or ribbon, through the pudding.

  7. With a whisk, stir the chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla into the bowl. Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter have melted and the mixture is smooth.

  8. Spoon the pudding into 4 small serving cups or 5 to 6-ounce ramekins or teacups.

  9. Chill in the refrigerator until cold.

Whipped Cream:

  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla together until the cream forms soft peaks.

  2. Dollop a spoonful on top of each serving cup and serve immediately. Enjoy!
