Satisfy your sweet tooth with Chocolate Rice Pudding! Creamy, dreamy, and oh-so-delicious. A cozy treat perfect for any time of day! @katlieu
Ingredients: 2 cups uncooked short-grain rice 2 bars of unsweetened or semi-sweet chocolate A knob or 1 teaspoon of red or white miso Water (adjust according to your rice cooker's instructions) Optional toppings: dried berries, nuts, honey, maple syrup, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, whipped cream Instructions: For the Chocolate Rice: 1. Rinse the short-grain rice in a colander under cold water until the water runs clear. 2. Add the washed rice to your rice cooker bowl and fill it with the correct amount of water. For a 5.5-cup Zojirushi rice cooker, use the measuring cup provided and fill the water up to the corresponding water level for 2 cups of rice. Adjust the water level accordingly for your specific rice cooker. For sticky rice, fill the water to the Sticky/Sweet Rice marking in your rice cooker. 3. Break the chocolate bars into pieces and place them directly on top of the rice, along with a knob of red miso. 4. Start the cooking cycle on your rice cooker (use a mixed or standard cycle). Once the rice is done, fluff the rice with a rice paddle, mixing the melted chocolate and miso thoroughly into the rice. 5. Optional toppings: For extra sweetness, drizzle honey, maple syrup, or sweetened condensed milk over the rice. You can also mix in dried berries and nuts at this point. For the Chocolate Rice Pudding: 1. Allow the cooked chocolate rice to cool down. 2. Take about 1 cup of the cooled chocolate rice and blend it with 1/2 cup of coconut milk or warm water until smooth. Add sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar) to taste, and blend again until there are no remaining rice chunks. If the mixture is too thick, add more liquid to reach your desired consistency. 3. Pour the blended mixture into ramekins or your chosen serveware. Refrigerate for a few hours, or overnight, to let it set. 4. Before serving, dust the pudding with cocoa powder and top with your favorite toppings like whipped cream or berries.
