Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 3.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 ounces Dark chocolate (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk and heavy cream over low heat until warm but not boiling. Keep the mixture warm throughout the cooking process.
In a separate medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the Arborio rice, stirring for about 2 minutes until the grains are coated and slightly translucent.
Gradually add one ladleful (about 1/2 cup) of the warm milk mixture to the rice, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Continue adding the milk mixture one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. This process should take about 25 minutes until the rice is tender and creamy.
Once the rice is done, lower the heat and stir in the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until fully incorporated.
Add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until melted and the risotto is glossy. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract.
Serve the warm chocolate risotto immediately in bowls. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired for an extra indulgent touch.
