Chocolate Rice Pudding

Cook Time: 40 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings


Ingredients

* 5 cups whole milk
* 2/3 cup Arborio rice
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest (from 1 medium orange)
* 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
* 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1 1/2 tablespoons orange liqueur
* 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips


Directions

In a heavy, medium saucepan, combine the milk, rice, sugar, and orange
zest. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean and add the bean to
the saucepan. Bring the milk to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce
the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the rice
is tender and the mixture thickens, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the
pan from the heat and discard the vanilla bean. Stir the cocoa powder
and orange liqueur into the mixture. Add the chocolate chips and stir
until melted. Allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes, stirring
occasionally.


Spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls. Cover and refrigerate for 2
1/2 to 3 hours and up to 1 day ahead.
