Ingredients

• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Frozen or fresh pitted cherries
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear and set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk to dissolve the cocoa powder.

Step 3

Add the rinsed Arborio rice to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and cook for 35-40 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking. The mixture should thicken and the rice should become tender.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips, allowing the chocolate to melt completely. Mix well until the pudding is rich and glossy.

Step 6

In a separate small saucepan, combine the cherries, water, powdered sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat while stirring until the mixture thickens and the cherries release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form.

Step 8

To assemble, spoon the chocolate rice pudding into individual serving dishes or bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream, followed by the cherry sauce.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with dark chocolate shavings for an added touch of elegance.

Step 10

Serve warm or chilled for a decadent dessert experience.
