Ingredients

• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 teaspoons Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Gently warm them over low heat but do not bring to a boil. Keep this mixture warm while preparing the risotto.

Step 2

In a separate large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the Arborio rice, coating it evenly with the butter, and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 cup of the warm milk-cream mixture to the rice. Stir constantly until most of the liquid is absorbed.

Step 4

Continue adding the milk mixture 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. This process should take about 25 minutes until the rice is creamy and tender but still slightly firm to the bite.

Step 5

Once the rice reaches the desired consistency, stir in the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well until the cocoa is fully incorporated and there are no lumps.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is melted and fully combined, creating a silky texture.

Step 7

Spoon the chocolate risotto pudding into serving bowls or ramekins. Optionally, garnish with powdered sugar, chocolate shavings, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this rich and decadent dessert!
