Ingredients

60 gram butter, chopped

1.25 litre (5 cups) milk

2/3 cup arborio rice

2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

2/3 cup caster sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla essence

100 gram dark eating chocolate, broken, plus 50g grated, extra

Method

1.Place butter, milk, rice and a pinch of salt in a large heavy-based saucepan over moderate heat. Bring to a gentle simmer.

2.Reduce heat to lowest setting. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally to prevent mixture sticking to base of pan, for 45 minutes or until almost all milk has been absorbed. Add zest, sugar and essence. Cook covered, for 15 minutes or until rice is soft and milk has been absorbed.

3.Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan of simmering water (don’t let base of bowl touch water). Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until melted and smooth. Spoon pudding into serving bowls; drizzle with melted chocolate. Serve sprinkled with extra grated chocolate.

To melt chocolate in the microwave, place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High (100%), in 30-second bursts, stirring, until melted and smooth.
