Dessert Arancini

Loosely based on the leftover risotto recipe from Italy, this was inspired by having lots of leftover Slow Cooker Rice Pudding, and some rather posh chocs lying around. These deep-fried rice balls, served with vanilla ice-cream are soft with crisp, and hot with cold. Mmmm.

Ingredient

Food ration :

3 servings

Cooking time :

10 mins

1 1/2 cup

leftover rice pudding

small flat-bottom chocolates (Walker's of London, Reese's Mini peanut butter cups, Hershey's kisses...there are so many possibities!

1 1/2 cup

Rice Krispies, crushed

oil for frying, whichever oil you would prefer to use to deep fry at 170C, eg groundnut, vegetable/rapeseed oil, coconut oil or sunflower oil are all suitable

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Put two chocolates together, flat sides together.

* Step 2

With wet hands (have a bowl of water to hand) take a ball of cold rice pudding, and place the chocolates in the middle

* Step 3

Make the rice pudding into a ball around the chocolate, completely encasing it

* Step 4

Roll the ball of rice pudding through the crushed Rice Krispies, pressing the crumbs onto the ball

* Step 5

Repeat until all three are done and set aside

* Step 6

Carefully place the balls into a deep fryer heated to 170C and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp

* Step 7

Carefully remove them from the oil, allow to drain, then set them on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.

* Step 8

While still hot, serve one per person with a good scoop of plain vanilla ice cream. The chocolate inside should be melty and the rice pudding should be warm and comforting... Oh my!
