There is a saying that goes: everything new is a well forgotten old. Rice pudding is of course not forgotten, but it is a very old dessert, so I decided that it needed a bit of a make-up. I played with ingredients a little, and that's what I got as a result - a light,creamy and delicious dessert! I hope you will like it too!
Cherry and chocolate rice pudding
Recipe
100g of arborio rice
100g of cream-cheese
1 tsp of vanilla extract
400ml of milk
25g of sugar (2Tbsp)
40g of fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)
40g of milk chocolate
60ml of cherry juice
1/2 tsp of gelatin
Boil rice, milk and sugar for approximately 20 minutes (or till rice is cooked). If the pudding is too thick add more milk during the boiling process. Cool to room temperature. Add vanilla extract and cream-cheese. Blend into smooth paste using a hand blender.
Melt chocolate. Puree cherries.
Divide the paste into 3 equal parts. Leave the 1st one as it is. Add melted chocolate to the 2nd part. Add the pureed cherries to the 3rd part.
Now take a glass and put a little of the cherry mixture till it fills 1/3 of the glass. The second layer (another 1/3) will be chocolate mixture. The third layer (the last 1/3) will be plain mixture.
Dissolve gelatin in cherry juice. Leave to stand for about 5-10 min, then heat in the microwave till hot, but not boiling. Gelatin granules should completely dissolve. Pour on top and chill for about 2 hours in the fridge.
Enjoy!
