Chocolate rice pudding

Make this in the microwave — prevents the pudding sticking to the saucepan. Great topped with sliced bananas tossed in brown sugar.

Ingredients

¼ cup	Medium grain rice (Main)
2 cups	Milk
3 Tbsp	Cocoa powder (Main)
2 Tbsp	Sugar
1 pinch	Salt
½ tsp	Vanilla essence
2 Tbsp	Chocolate chips

Directions

1. Combine the rice, milk, cocoa powder, sugar and salt in a large microwave bowl. Cook on high for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through. Reduce the power to 50% and continue cooking for about 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. It should be thick and creamy, not solid.
2. Stir in the vanilla and chocolate chips.
3. Pour into serving dishes. Great served with whipped cream.
