"Anytime I get a craving for a chocolaty treat, I whip up a dish of this rich pudding in the microwave," explains field editor Anne Boesiger of Meridian, Idaho. "Using milk chocolate chips is another delicious option."

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • Whipped cream and baking cocoa, optional

Directions

  1. In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, combine the cornstarch, salt and milk until smooth; add chocolate chips. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 45 seconds or until hot but not boiling; stir. Cook 20-30 seconds longer or until mixture just begins to boil; stir. Cool. Pour into a small bowl. If desired, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with baking cocoa.
