Leftover Rice Chocolate Pudding Topped with Fruit jam

As mentioned before, I am someone who is born without a sweet tooth. Conversely, my better half comes from a family of dessert lovers. They like to finish their meal with something sweet. The general hospitality tradition followed at my in-laws house is to welcome their guest with a glass of water and some sweets.

At home, we generally like to gauge on freshly made desserts rather than attacking any readymade sugary goodies acquired from the supermarkets. I have to admit that I don’t possess any extraordinary fancy dessert cooking skills but I like to experiment with different varieties of sweetened ingredients available around.

Today I would like to share the recipe of instant rice chocolate pudding which is made out of leftover rice. Even the chocolates used in this recipe are stolen from my son chocolate stock lying in the fridge. I have used Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut Chocolate for this recipe. You can use any other chocolate including chocolate chips. This can be made with ingredients easily available at home and can work wonders with kids at home.

It is a simple recipe made from leftover rice, sugar, milk and sugar. It may not be close to your desire for any cream laden menu but it is easy and very satisfying. It makes a great, comforting dessert that will probably remind you of your grandmother, though grandma might have disapproved of this recipe because of the chocolate content in it.

Here is the recipe of simple but yet delicious instant pudding using leftover rice and chocolate.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: Under 15 minutes

Ingredients:

Leftover cooked Rice: 2 Cups

Milk: 1/2 Cup

Any Mixed Fruit Jam: 2 Tsp

Method:

1.    Grind the rice in the mixer.

2.    Add milk and sugar to it and again churn the rice mixture in the blender.

3.    Heat the rice mixture in a kadhai or a wok for 5 minutes over low flame.

4.    Now add grated chocolate to it and keep stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes.

5.    Beat/whisk the mixture well after cooking it over low flame.
