How to Make Chocolate Polenta Pudding

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup coarse polenta (cornmeal), 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk (dairy or non-dairy) until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps.
  3. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring well after each minute to prevent sticking and burning.
  4. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency (about 1-2 more minutes).
  5. Remove from microwave and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey (or to taste) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a dollop of whipped cream (optional).
