Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1½ cup dark chocolate vegan, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup leftover rice 1 day old maximum
  • ½ cup hot water
  • cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  • Melt the dark chocolate using a double broiler or the microwave. 
  • In a blender, combine the leftover rice, hot water, vanilla and chocolate, and blend until smooth. 
  • Pour the mixture into two dessert cups, and refrigerate for at least two hours until thickened. 
  • Once it has thickened, dust with cocoa powder, as desired. Since this is made with leftover rice, I suggest consuming the same day as you make it!

Notes

  • No blender? A food processor can offer an alternative, so long as you don't mind a different texture.
  • Add a splash of maple syrup or a couple of dates if using extra-dark chocolate.
  • Customize the flavor with a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder for a fun twist. You can also stir in some vegan nutella instead of chocolate for a rich, nutty variation.
  • Add berries, coconut whipped cream, or chopped nuts as your toppings.
  • Turn it into popsicles. Perfect on a hot day!
