Economical Chilled Chocolate Rice Dessert

Ingredients

• 2 cup cooked rice (white rice, cooked and cooled)
• 1 cup melted chocolate (semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or chopped bar)
• 0.5 cup hot water
• cocoa powder (for dusting on top)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the cooked rice into a high-speed blender.

2. 2

   Add the melted chocolate and hot water to the blender.

3. 3

   Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes a perfectly smooth, uniform cream.

4. 4

   Line a small pan or container with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

5. 5

   Pour the chocolate rice cream into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

6. 6

   Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill until the dessert is completely set, approximately 2 hours.

7. 7

   Once set, remove from the pan and finish by dusting cocoa powder over the top before slicing.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can substitute the hot water with hot milk or a dairy-free alternative. Ensure the rice is well-cooked and soft for the smoothest texture.
