Comfort food chocolate rice pudding is delicious, easy to make, and sure to satisfy your biggest chocolate cravings! This easy recipe is made in about 15 minutes!
Sometimes I make something and I am literally speechless as to why it has taken this long to make it. If you are a returning visitor to CBQ then you know that I am a true chocoholic (check out all my chocolate recipes). It runs in my family. I also adore my baked rice pudding inspired by the one my Nan makes. We are rice pudding lovers. So making this chocolate rice pudding was really a no-brainer for me.
I made the recipe based on one cup of cooked rice so you can easily double, triple, or quadruple for however many people you want to serve. Rice pudding is one of the homiest and most comforting desserts to have with your loved ones. The creamy texture is something else!! I hope you love this simple chocolate rice pudding recipe.
Let's get to the recipe

Ingredients
- Cooked Rice. Using the minute white rice cups is perfect for this recipe. I love that Minute Rice cups are perfectly cooked rice in a minute so it's easy to take a moment to relax and enjoy.
- Granulated Sugar. This will sweeten the rice making it dessert-worthy!
- Salt. This brings all the flavors together!
- Heavy Whipping Cream. The heavy cream really makes this rich and decadent! You could probably get away with using full-fat coconut milk instead if you wanted.
- Whole Milk. The milk along with the cream is what makes this delicious sauce.
- Cocoa Powder. I prefer Dutch-process for a more intense, chocolate flavor but you can also use natural cocoa powder. You just want it to be unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Butter. I love adding a bit of butter to give the chocolate sauce the rice is cooked in a sheen and richness.
I love to top the rice pudding with a bit of whipped cream and some mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings. Thinking about it now a sprinkling of cinnamon would be delicious too!
For ingredient quantities please reference the recipe card below. On the recipe card there is a button for US or M (Metric) measurements.
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan add all of the ingredients and place on the stove over low-medium heat.
I appreciate that the Minute Rice Cups are BPA-free and 100% recyclable, as I am always trying to do my part!
Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-low heat and let simmer for 10 minutes. Stir frequently. You want to ensure the bottom of the pan is scraped so nothing ends up sticking.
Turn off the heat and let cool for five minutes then pour into a serving dish. The longer this rice pudding sits the thicker it will get, you can always loosen it up a bit by adding more liquid, like a splash of milk.
Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate chips.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Can you double
This recipe was designed to be easily doubled. The serving size is very generous for one person but you can easily press the 2X or 3X button on the recipe card below to double or triple the ingredient quantities.
Here we are at the Fresh Air Retreat with a Minute Rice bar with all the toppings! I made a peaches and cream rice bowl, it was so good!
The Fresh Air Retreat would not have been possible without the amazing brands that sponsored the event. Incredibly grateful and thankful to Certified Angus Beef, Zwilling, AdThrive, Stonyfield, & Grace + Vine Studios.

Yes this hit the spot. I wanted something chocolatey but didn’t know what. Saw this and had Minute rice in cupboard so decided to try it. Very quick and didn’t last long. Will definitely make it again.
