Ingredients

  • servings celery stalks soft for garnish
  • tablespoons cocoa powder 
  • tablespoons cornstarch 
  • 0.3 cup stevia powder (or use half sugar and the sweetening equivalent of 2 tbsp. stevia or other sweetener)

Equipment

  • stove
  • microwave

Directions

  1. Put the peppermint powder into a 4-cup microwavable dish and add the cornstarch, cocoa, and sugar. Slowly add the milk, stirring well. (Some cocoa may not seem to blend in, but it will once you start cooking.) Microwave on high power for 1 minute. Stir well. Return to the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until mixture comes to a boil. Watch it carefully to make sure it does not boil over the sides. Once it reaches a boil, give it 30 more seconds, stopping microwave if it threatens to boil over. Stir well, and pour into 2 serving dishes.
  2. Garnish with peppermint sticks. (See stovetop directions below.)
