How to Make Delicious Dessert Grits

  2. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, then reduce power to 50% and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the grits are thick and creamy, stirring every minute to prevent sticking.
  3. Remove from microwave and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more brown sugar to your preference.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, comforting treat!
