Super easy pudding


This could be really dangerous to diets. A simple, single serve mocha pudding that takes 5 minutes to make. 

Sometimes I just really want something warm and comforting dessert wise, but making up a whole 4 serve dessert recipe is a bit of a waste when you're the only one who wants some. 


To start with, all you'll need is 25g of butter. Chuck it in a microwave safe bowl or mug (NB: this cute little blue ramekin may look nice, but the sides were a bit low and I had a bit of overflow. A mug might be better)


Microwave on high till your butter is melted



Next we add 1/4 cup flour


plus a tbsp of cocoa and 2 tbsp of sugar


And 1 1/2 tbsps (=6tsps) of milk, and a dash of vanilla essence



Mix it all together to form a lovely chocolatey goop



Sprinkle on 2 tbsps brown sugar, 2 tsps cocoa and a tsp instant coffee. Pour on 1/3 cup of water.


Microwave on medium-high for 5 minutes, watching it to make sure it doesn't overflow. And voila! Delicious mocha pudding. Best eaten with ice cream, when one should be studying for upcoming mid-semester tests
