Instructions
Whisk Dry Ingredients
Combine sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch in a large microwave-safe mug and whisk together until there are no lumps in the dry mixture.
Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk a little at a time to prevent lumps from forming, ensuring everything is fully smooth before adding more milk.
Microwave in Intervals
Microwave on high for 1 minute, whisk well, then microwave for another 30 seconds and whisk again. Repeat until the pudding is thick and bubbling.
Add Vanilla and Chill
Stir in the vanilla extract immediately and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Serve warm or refrigerate for 15 minutes.
