Chocolate Rice Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- pinch of salt
- 1 vanilla bean
- pinch nutmeg
- 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp Grand Marnier
- 1/2 cup rice
- 1 1/2 oz chocolate, dark or as preferred
- 1/4 cup non-fat yogurt
- 3 1/2 cup skim milk
Directions
- Prepare the pudding: in a saucepan, add the cocoa powder, sugar, salt, milk and vanilla and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In another saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, add rice and stir occasionally for 1-2 minutes, until edges are translucent. Add the hot milk mixture and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.
- Add ginger and cinnamon and cook for another 10 minutes or until rice is well tender and has absorbed the liquid. If needed, add a little more milk or water or even coffee. Pudding should be a little loose as it will thicken.
- Transfer all the composition into a blender, add the chocolate and liquor and mix for a couple of seconds to incorporate well. Add the yogurt and blend again, then pour into individual bowls. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Top with yogurt or chocolate syrup and serve cooled!
