Chilled Summer Chocolate Rice Pudding ☀️
Enjoy a refreshing and healthy chocolate rice pudding perfect for summer! Made with glutinous rice, cocoa, and your choice of sweetener, this dessert is best served chilled with evaporated or coconut milk.
Equipment
- Pot
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice (also known as sticky rice or sushi rice)
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup white sugar or for a healthier option, substitute with maple syrup or coconut sugar to taste
- Evaporated milk or coconut milk, for serving (coconut milk is a great healthy, dairy-free alternative for summer!)
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice: Begin by thoroughly rinsing the glutinous rice under cold running water until the water becomes clear. Transfer the rinsed rice and 3 cups of water into a medium-sized pot. Place the pot on medium-high heat and bring it to a bubbling boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed most of the water and is tender.
- Add Chocolate & Sweetener: Once the rice is cooked, stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder and your chosen sweetener. Continue stirring consistently until the cocoa powder and sweetener are fully dissolved and blended, creating a smooth, rich chocolate mixture. If the pudding becomes too thick, or if the rice isn't quite cooked through, feel free to add a little more water.
- Cool & Chill for Summer: Remove the pot from the heat. To make this a refreshing summer treat, allow the chocolate rice pudding to cool down completely to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until it's wonderfully chilled.
- Serve & Enjoy: Ladle the cool chocolate rice pudding into individual bowls. Finish it off with a drizzle of evaporated milk or, for a lighter and equally delicious touch, coconut milk. Dig in and savor this easy, healthy, and refreshing summer delight!
Notes
Coconut milk is a great healthy, dairy-free alternative for summer! For best summer enjoyment, this pudding requires at least 2-3 hours of chilling.
