Vanilla Chocolate Chip Pudding

1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp corn starch
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups non-fat milk
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract

Combine cornstarch, sugar and cocoa powder in a medium-sized saucepan. Gradually whisk in the milk until well-blended.

Cook the pudding over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to become thick and small bubbles begin to break the surface, for about 4 minutes.

Have the egg beaten in a medium-sized bowl. Gradually add the pudding mixture into the egg, and whisk until well-blended.

Return pudding to the saucepan, over medium-high heat, and stir in the chocolate chips until they are melted and the pudding is smooth.

Remove the pudding from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract.

Divide pudding among 4 small pudding bowls, cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate.
