Chocolate Rice Pudding -judydawn

[Thermomixer]

OK Karen let's see how we go this time.  My second batch was far superior to the first one anyway so hopefully, was worth the wait.

Chocolate Rice Pudding - a conversion and alteration of a recipe by Giada De Laurentiis (for the better but don't tell her )
1.13 litres milk (I used skim)
150g arborio rice
110g sugar
1.5 tspns orange zest, finely chopped
1 tspn vanilla essence
l lightly beaten egg
1.5 tblspns orange liqueur (I used Triple Sec)
1 cup milk chocolate bits (sorry forgot to weigh them)

Place the milk and rice in the TM bowl and cook 35 mins 90^o on Reverse, speed 1.
Add the sugar, zest, vanilla and egg through the lid and continue to mix for a few seconds.
Add liqueur and choc bits and stir on Reverse, 90^o Speed 2 for 1 minute.
Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes.  Stir on reverse every 3 minutes for 20 seconds.
Spoon into serving bowls - glass stemmed ones look nice.
Refrigerate 3 hours.

Can be made up to a day ahead.

Here's another version of Chocolate Rice Pudding - more child friendly.

150g arborio rice
980 mls milk
2 Tblspns cocoa powder
1 teaspn vanilla paste or extract
70g castor sugar
8 large chocolate melts
2 tblspns toasted flaked almonds to serve (optional)

Place the milk, cocoa powder, vanilla and castor sugar in the TM bowl and whisk 10 sec/speed 6.
Add the rice which has been rinsed under running water and cook 40 mins/90^o/speed 1/reverse.
Drop the chocolate melts into the pudding through the hole in the lid and stir on speed 1/reverse for 30 sec to melt them.
It is quite liquidy at this point so rest the pudding until it thickens up (just like a risotto would).

The child friendly one sounds great..... the only arborio rice I have in the cubard is pre cooked packaged stuff.  Do you think I could use it?

[judydawn]

Hello amie78, welcome to the forum.  I've never used pre-cooked packaged rice so I don't know the answer to that one I'm afraid.  Someone else might though.

Thanks Judy i might just cook the rice as per the directions on the pkt and see what happens.
