Bradley's Chocolate Orange Risotto

Bradley's Chocolate Orange Risotto

I discovered this recipe as an assignment at college, I had to research the food and culture of Italy and then design a full menu, this was the winner dessert.

1 Orange
200g Vialone Nano Rice (recommended, but Pudding Rice works too)
50g Chopped Walnuts (optional)
For the presentation
A few segments of Chocolate Orange
A small pot of double cream

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 170°C/325°F/Gas 3
2. Put 900ml milk and 200g chopped plain chocolate with the juice of 1 orange in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir to melt the chocolate, then add 200g Vialone Nano rice.
3. Tip into a 1.5 litre ovenproof dish and bake for 45 minutes, stirring often, until creamy and al dente.
4. Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry pan.
5. Swirl in some double cream and place a couple of segments of chocolate orange on the top, sprinkle the walnuts over the dish, then plate up and enjoy!
