Chocolate Risalamande with a Hint of Orange Zest
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of short-grain rice
- 2 cups of whole milk
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract
- 1/2 cup of dark chocolate, chopped
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/4 cup of slivered almonds, toasted
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup of short-grain rice and 2 cups of whole milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of chopped dark chocolate and the zest of 1 orange until the chocolate is melted and well combined.
- Transfer the risalamande to a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
- To serve, sprinkle the risalamande with 1/4 cup of toasted slivered almonds and additional orange zest, if desired. Enjoy!
