In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
Step 3: Make Chocolate Mixture
In a separate saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk and ½ cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Step 4: Add Cocoa Powder
Stir in ¼ cup of cocoa powder into the milk mixture, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue stirring and heating until the mixture is smooth and hot but not boiling.
Step 5: Combine Ingredients
Once the rice is cooked and tender, add it to the chocolate mixture. Stir well to combine and allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 6: Add Vanilla
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor.
Step 7: Serve
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. You can serve it warm or chilled, according to your preference.
