Why I Love This Recipe
Rice pudding dates back to ancient Persia, where it was considered a cure for chest pains. The addition of chocolate transforms this ancient remedy into a modern gourmet treat!
Ingredients You'll Need
1 cup short-grain rice
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
8 oz high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine rice, milk, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer for 18-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and mixture is creamy.
Remove from heat and discard cinnamon stick. Stir in softened butter, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Return to low heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Once cooled, refrigerate the rice pudding for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, form the chilled rice pudding into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped chocolate and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Dip each frozen rice pudding ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Return to the baking sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
In a small bowl, mix together cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
Roll the chilled truffles in the cocoa-sugar mixture to coat.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
