Ingredients

• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0 Optional toppings (e.g., whipped cream, chocolate shavings)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the Arborio rice, whole milk, and heavy cream.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder together to remove any lumps, then stir the mixture into the rice pudding.

Step 5

Add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan, stirring until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chocolate rice pudding rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Serve warm for a comforting dessert, or allow the pudding to cool completely and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours for a refreshing treat.

Step 9

Garnish with optional toppings like whipped cream or chocolate shavings before serving, if desired.
