Total preparation time: 45 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4
Essential ingredients:
- 100 g rice (preferably dessert rice, such as Arborio or sticky rice)
- 1 vanilla pod, split lengthwise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 teaspoons rose jam (or any preferred jam)
- 4 cubes of white cappuccino chocolate (or regular white chocolate)
- Chocolate syrup, jam, honey, cocoa powder, cinnamon, etc., for serving (optional)
Step-by-step preparation:
1. Preparing the rice:
Start by boiling water in a small pot. Add the rice, cinnamon stick, and vanilla pod. Make sure there is enough water to cover the rice, and let the mixture simmer on low heat.
Helpful tips: Using a special dessert rice variety will give a creamy texture and a delicious taste. Arborio rice is ideal due to its starch content.
2. Cooking the rice:
Let the rice cook for 20-25 minutes or until it becomes soft and absorbs almost all the water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. This step is essential for obtaining a soft and tasty dessert.
3. Preparing the molds:
While the rice is cooking, prepare 4 individual molds (preferably ceramic or silicone) by adding 1 teaspoon of rose jam to the bottom of each mold. The jam will add a floral note and a sweet-sour taste contrast.
4. Creating the dessert:
Once the rice is ready, strain it using a sieve to remove excess water, then let it cool for a few minutes. Start dividing the rice into the prepared molds: place 1-2 tablespoons of rice in each mold, spreading it evenly along the walls and base.
5. Adding the chocolate:
Place a cube of white cappuccino chocolate in the center of the rice in each mold. This will melt and create a delicious surprise in every bite. Cover the cube with another 1-2 tablespoons of rice, pressing gently to secure it.
6. Cooling and serving:
Let the dessert sit for 10-15 minutes to stabilize. Then, invert each mold onto a plate, allowing the rice to gently release. You can decorate the dessert as desired, using chocolate syrup, jam, honey, cocoa powder, or cinnamon.
Personalized variant:
If you want to add an extra flavor, you can top the dessert with some fresh fruit slices, such as strawberries or kiwi. This will add a texture contrast and a touch of freshness.
