Creamy Chocolate Rice

Submitted by Lalaloula

"This is a chocolatey take on the ever so popular classic rice pudding/creamed rice. Its easy to make, can be dressed up to look spectacular and tastes so good. Pure comfort food, if you ask me. I hope youll enjoy this as much as we do! :) Note: This could easily be veganised by using a non-dairy milk and a vegan chocolate spread. Let me know how this turns out four you if you try it."

Ready In:: 35mins
Ingredients:: 5
Serves:: 2-4

ingredients

125 g risotto rice (short grain rice)
500 ml milk (low-fat is fine)
2 tablespoons sugar (can sub splenda)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 -3 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread (I use an organic one)

directions

In a pot combine rice, sugar, vanilla and milk. Heat over medium heat until milk starts to boil stirring frequently to prevent rice from sticking to the pot.
Stirring frequently simmer on low for about 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and creamy. Depending on your rice this may take longer.
Now stir in the chocolate hazelnut spread. I used 2 heaping tbs, but depending on what type of spread you use you may want to add some more to get it chocolatey enough for your taste.
Serve warm.
Note: I think this would be wonderful served with fresh fruit or a fruit sauce, some chocolate curls or cream. Feel free to experiment with toppings of your choice.
