Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice cool for 5 minutes.
Using a large spoon or hands, scoop portions of the cooked rice and form them into small, firm cakes, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the rice cakes evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until lightly crispy on the outside.
While the rice cakes are baking, prepare the chocolate spread. In a small bowl, combine the coconut oil, cacao powder, vanilla extract, stevia extract, almond milk, and a pinch of salt.
Stir the mixture until smooth and well combined. If needed, warm the coconut oil slightly to aid in mixing.
Once the rice cakes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Spread a generous layer of the sugar-free chocolate spread on each rice cake.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
