I've made this pudding for years and almost lost the hand-written recipe in our move, so memorializing it here!
Ingredients
1/3 c. white sugar
1/3 c. cocoa powder
3 T. corn starch
a dash of salt
2 c. milk
Directions
First, combine all your dry ingredients, and then add the milk (in a microwave safe bowl). Stir until smooth. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, then stir. Microwave for about 4 more minutes, or until thick, stirring after each additional minute. It'll look a little leathery on top when it first comes out. Fear not because after you whisk it, it'll be nice and glossy again. Put some plastic wrap right down on the pudding. This keeps it from getting a "skin" (ewwww...) as it cools. Cool in the fridge for a bit. 30 minutes is what we prefer-- that gives us just warm pudding that won't burn the kiddies' mouths. Top with a big, fat dollop of whipped cream, and enjoy!
