AZTECA COCOA RICE PUDDING
The Aztecs believed that cacao seeds were the gift of Quetzalcoatl, the God of wisdom who was hated by the other gods for giving cacao to humans. The seeds had so much value they were used as a form of currency. Originally prepared only as a drink, chocolate was served bitter and spicy. Often this gift from the gods was reserved for royalty and religious leadership. It was believed to give strength and so was added to a soldier's rations. Later it was seen as an aphrodisiac which made it much more popular. I have used their spirit as inspiration for this sweet and spicy rice pudding.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This means using real chocolate, fresh milk, and high-quality rice. The better the ingredients, the better the pudding will taste.
- Don't overcook the rice. The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and the pudding will be too thick.
- Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken up. You can also chill the pudding for a few hours or overnight for a more intense flavor.
- Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, chocolate chips, nuts, and fruit.
