vegan Chocolate pudding in a mug

• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 3/4 cup soymilk or rice milk
• 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla

1. In a large mug (at least 12 oz) dissolve cornstarch, cocoa, and sugar in milk.
2. Microwave on high for 90 sec or until mixture boils (see below).
3. Stir in vanilla.
4. Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour.

NOTES: I use a pyrex measuring cup instead of a mug. This way I can watch that the pudding doesn't boil over.

It takes longer than 90 sec with my microwave. I usually nuke it for 1 min, stir, nuke for 30 sec, stir and nuke again in three 30 min intervals watching through the door to stop and stir when it starts to overflow. I want the total nuking time to be at least 60 seconds after it first boils so that the cornstarch is completely cooked through.
