  is dissolved. Microwave, uncovered, on high (100 percent) 2 1/2 to 3
  minutes, or until mixture boils and thickens, whisking after every
  minute. Stir in egg until well blended. Microwave on medium (50
  percent) 30 seconds; stir in vanilla and set aside.

  for vanilla. Stir chocolate into pudding mixture until completely
  melted and blended.
  
  3. Set aside vanilla and chocolate Puddings until barely warm. Pour
  one quarter of each pudding simultaneously into each of 4 small
  dessert bowls. With fork, swirl each pudding mixture to marbleize.
  Refrigerate Black and White Puddings at least 40 minutes. Garnish
  with berries, if desired, and serve.
