Ingredients
For the Rice Kheer:
- 1 cup Basmati Rice cooked and cooled; leftover rice works perfectly
- 1 ltr Milk
- 3/4 cup Sugar adjust to your sweetness preference, granulated
- 1 tsp Cardamom Powder ground cardamom; optional, but highly recommended
For the Chocolate Cups:
- 6 ounces Chocolate high-quality dark chocolate; compound chocolate can also be used, dark
- 6 Disposable Cups approximately 2-ounce capacity; clear plastic shot glasses work well, small
Instructions
Prepare the Rice Kheer
- Pour the milk into a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai. Add the cooked rice and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the milk thickens. This will take less time since the rice is pre-cooked.
Sweeten and Finish the Kheer
- Once the milk has thickened, add the sugar and cardamom powder. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking or burning. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Create the Chocolate Cups
- Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Gently pour the melted chocolate into the small disposable cups, coating the sides evenly. Tilt the cups to ensure full coverage and pour out any excess chocolate.
Set and Assemble
- Place the chocolate cups in the freezer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chocolate sets firmly. Carefully peel away the disposable cups. Spoon the cooled rice kheer into the chocolate cups. Garnish with extra chocolate shavings or chopped nuts, if desired. Serve chilled.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Rice Kheer in Chocolate Cups:
- For extra creamy kheer, use full-fat milk and stir continuously to prevent scorching.
- If using leftover rice, ensure it's completely cooled before adding it to the milk to prevent the kheer from becoming watery.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa.
- Chill the kheer thoroughly before serving for the optimal creamy texture and to allow the chocolate cups to fully set.
