Equipment
- GoodCook 2 Quart Saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup white sticky rice (sushi rice, calrose or aborio)
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 cup water
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 cans evaporated milk (12 oz cans)
- 1/3 cup sugar or to taste
- 2/3 cup bittersweet chocolate roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- In a GoodCook 2 Quart Saucepan add the rice, water, evaporated milk, cocoa powder, butter and sugar.
- Cover with a lid and bring to a simmer. Once it starts to simmer cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, about 20-25 minutes. Note: you don't want all the liquid to be absorbed by the rice as you need it to have a sauce. Rice absorbs liquid once it has been removed from the heat so factor that in.
- Once the rice is fully cooked remove from the heat and stir in the bittersweet chocolate, salt, and vanilla extract.
- Serve warm or cold in individual bowls with whipped cream on top. Keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
