Recipe: Gluten-free chocolate dessert

I learned this recipe from the web, but with my own personal touch, after noticing my well-being when eating gluten-free; in fact, I feel increasingly "lighter" and I no longer have bloating in my stomach.

This dessert has no added sugar, and is based on only two (2) ingredients, namely chocolate and rice, but it is – absolutely – possible to make your creative contribution; let's follow the following together: 

Ingredients:

·        100g of dark chocolate (which you can replace with milk chocolate);

·        60g of raw rice (I used white rice);

Optional: as additions to your choice:

·        1 tablespoon of roasted and ground almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts…;

·        Candied cherries, coconut, or even flaked almonds for decoration.

·        1 tablespoon of yogurt (plain or flavored).

Preparation:

·        Cook the rice : I learned to put at the same time – in a saucepan – one measure of rice with two measures of water, and put on medium heat for 10 minutes, then cover for 5 minutes (on the heat off): this is how I get “properly cooked” rice. For this recipe, I did not add salt ;

·        Drain then put this rice in a blender;

·        Flake the chocolate : in a bain-marie or in the microwave (I added a tablespoon of walnut oil);

·        Pour into the blender (on the rice);

·        Mix it all together… and that’s it;

·        Put in ramekins (you can add ground dried fruit, as noted above in the ingredients) ,

·        Decorate as you like, then keep refrigerated. 

And there you have it, a delicious and “healthy” dessert, like a “chocolate mousse” with a light texture, to be enjoyed cold.

The ancient Greek physician and philosopher Hippocrates  said: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” … and enjoy your meal.
