This recipe perfectly replaces a 3.4 ounce box of Jello cook and serve pudding (which also makes 4 1/2 cup servings), with the added bonus that it cooks up much more quickly. My ten year old son loves chocolate pudding to death and I love that he can make this himself with what's in the pantry, as we do away with the additives that come with the commercial version. This recipe has lots of potential for use in the 'home made is best' home cook's kitchen!

You sure do get a lot of bang for your buck with this! Oh my goodness, I wanted a quick dessert and for the time and effort I put into this I couldn't have been more pleased. It maybe is a little TOO thick, and maybe not quite as rich as I prefer (I missed the egg yolk custard) but a dab of butter stirred in at the end was a quick fix. Given that this involved one bowl, a few handy ingredients and just a few minutes of doing not much more than watch your microwave's carousel turning around, this was excellent.

I made this recipe as written but on the stove instead of in the microwave and it came out more like a jello consistency than pudding, taste was fine though.

This is pretty good. I love home-made pudding but have never made it in the microwave. It was easy and good but seems to need a little extra something. I noticed some people complained it wasn't sweet enough. I love sweets but found the amount of sugar was perfect. Thanks!

This was good!, I like that the ingredients are in my pantry and fridge already. Will make this one again!

First time I made this it was good, but the second time everyone agreed I should increase sugar (1/2 cup) and it is excellent!

This was simple, fast and delicious! It definitely isn't sweet enough... and that's coming from someone who adores dark chocolate. Increase the sugar to 1/2 cup and it's magic! I cooked mine for the first 3 minutes in an 1100 watt oven, then only needed one extra minute to finish it off. Tip: Add a small amount of milk at first to form a ganache, then add the rest. This gives you a smoother and faster blend before cooking.

I have this recipe but it is called Micro wave pudding. It is basically the same but it also calls for I/2 cup chocolate chips. I use it to make chocolate pie. It makes an excellent pie and requires no eggs. With this recipe I give it 5 stars for pie or pudding.
