A sweet spin off of the average risotto dish...

Categories     Desserts

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ tablespoons butter
½ cup Arborio rice
2 ½ cups hot milk
3 tablespoons chopped dark chocolate
2 tablespoons white sugar
¾ cup water
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 cinnamon stick
2 pears, peeled, quartered and cored

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in the rice. Cook the rice until it turns translucent, and begins to toast, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/3 of the hot milk until it has been absorbed by the rice, about 5 minutes. Pour in half of the remaining milk, and stir until absorbed before stirring in the remaining milk. Stirring in the milk should take 15 to 25 minutes total, and the rice should be mostly soft with just a little firmness in the center. Add the chocolate and 2 tablespoons of sugar, and stir 5 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, bring the water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and cinnamon stick to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the pears, return to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium, and continue simmering uncovered until the pears are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Spoon the risotto into serving bowls and place pears on top.

I didn't have any pears, so I used apples instead. It was still good!
