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.

Steps

10 mins

1

Put two chocolates together, flat sides together.
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
3

Make the rice pudding into a ball around the chocolate, completely encasing it
4

Roll the ball of rice pudding through the crushed Rice Krispies, pressing the crumbs onto the ball
5

Repeat until all three are done and set aside
6

Carefully place the balls into a deep fryer heated to 170C and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp
7

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