The world is on fire and it feels that I am just wasting time as I chug along with making recipes, fixing old posts, and created countless new Pinterest pins.

Basically, I don’t know what to say or do. I know what is in my heart but will I say it correctly? Will I post the right thing at the right time? Is using a certain hashtag offend someone? Will my action be enough?

Thankfully, I know that I know where I stand, that I can teach my kids to be kind, and I am an ally to the disenfranchised communities.

It’s all around terrifying. But I keep focusing on work to try to provide for my family since that is something that I can control and take responsibility for.

Creamy Stove Top Chocolate Rice Pudding

Like all kids, my kids really enjoy dessert. One of the things I have been whipping up lately is this Creamy Chocolate Rice Pudding.

We eat rice a lot so I often double the batch and use the leftovers for making rice pudding for dessert.

This is a family favorite because it’s easy to do and is quickly made on the stove top. And because it’s just a few ingredients, it’s affordable too.

Start with cold cooked rice. I suggest weighing the rice so that you can accurately measuring the amount.

On the stove, combine the sugar, milk, and eggs in a medium saucepan.

Over medium low heat, whisk the mixture to beat the eggs into the milk and help dissolve the sugar.

Add the chocolate chips, cocoa powder, espresso powder, salt. Continue to whisk while the mixture warms. Do not heat too quickly or you’ll burn the mixture.

Continue to whisk the milk until it is thick and creamy. It doesn’t need to be so thick that it would coat the back of a spoon, but fairly thick.

At that point, add the rice and let simmer to warm the rice and let it plump again.

This is a great rice pudding that is made with leftover rice on the stove top. has a wonderful chocolate flavor

Enjoy dessert tonight with a big bowl of this luscious Creamy Chocolate Rice Pudding.

What kind of rice do you use?

White short grain rice is a great option for this rice. Just like the rice that you get from Chinese take out.

Jasmine rice is also a great option as it has a lovely delicate floral and buttery scent. It will go nicely with the chocolate.

What kind of milk do you use?

I suggest using whole milk or 2% milk. Skim milk works just as well, but it might not be as rich tasting.

You can also make this with almond milk. I have not tried it with other nut milks, soy, or oat milk, so I can’t remark on that preparation.

Is the rice pudding served hot or cold?

It can be enjoyed either way. Enjoy it hot directly from the pot or enjoy it later on when it’s cold. Both ways are equally wonderful.
