How to Make Risotto Al Cioccolato Chocolate Risotto

  1. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the Arborio rice and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the grains are toasted and translucent.
  3. Add the scraped vanilla bean seeds, rum, and water. Stir and cook until the liquid is almost completely absorbed.
  4. Gradually add the milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding more. This process should take about 15-18 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low as the risotto cooks, ensuring a creamy consistency. The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite (al dente).
  6. Remove from heat once the rice is cooked and all the milk is absorbed.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream, sugar, orange zest, lemon zest, and chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and fully incorporated.
  8. Serve the Risotto Al Cioccolato immediately, while it is warm and creamy.
