Dorie Greenspan’s Chocolate Rice Pudding

Heather R. — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:33:13 +0000

First off, pictures of pudding – especially rice pudding – never do the recipe justice.

Anyway, this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie was Black and White Rice Pudding (actually chocolate and vanilla!). I split mine in two batches, as was suggested in the recipe, because I knew my husband would appreciate the vanilla while the kids would devour the chocolate.

I’m also glad I read up on the Q&A for the recipe, otherwise I too would have ended up with rice soup instead of pudding and would have wondered what I’d done wrong!

I stirred the pudding every five minutes for about 50 minutes and it turned out perfectly. I didn’t put the full 1-1/2 teaspoons of vanilla in the white pudding because my husband likes it plain, but I may have put a little extra chocolate in the other one.

Maybe just a little.

Chocolate Rice Pudding

Heather R. — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 14:46:48 +0000

Rice pudding seems to be something you either love or hate. Admittedly, I didn’t like it much as a kid but don’t mind it now. I made some for my husband last night and decided to experiment with some chocolate (surprise!).

Chocolate Rice Pudding

3 cups milk
2/3 cup uncooked long grain rice

1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c chocolate chips (semi or milk, your preference)

In a heavy medium saucepan bring the milk just to boiling, stir in the rice. Cover and cook over low heat for 30-40 minutes or until most of the milk is absorbed, stirring occasionally.

Remove saucepan from heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla extract. Add chocolate chips and stir until melted. Serve warm or chilled.
