• Instructions:
• Place cocoa, sugar and cornstarch in an 8-cup glass measure or deep microwaveable bowl and stir to blend. (If cocoa powder has lumps, sift first.)

• Add butter.
• Microwave uncovered on 100% power (High) 4 minutes.

• Stir to combine thickened edges with liquid center. Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer or until mixture thickens to a creamy, spoonable consistency.
• Immediately place wax paper or plastic wrap directly on surface of pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
• Serve warm or pour into dessert dishes and refrigerate.
• Serving Suggestions:
