Steps

  1. Before you start, coarsely chop the chocolate chips and set them aside for the topping; segment and chop the orange and keep it chilled.
  2. In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil, stir in the rice, cover and simmer on low for 10 minutes until the water is mostly absorbed.
  3. Meanwhile, put the unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar and salt in a bowl, add a splash of the whole milk and whisk into a smooth paste, then whisk in the rest of the whole milk to make the cocoa milk.
  4. Pour the cocoa milk into the pot with the rice and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
  5. Simmer uncovered, stirring often so the bottom doesn't catch, for 25 to 30 minutes until the rice is tender and the pudding is thick and creamy.
  6. Take the pot off the heat and stir in the orange juice and vanilla.
  7. Divide the pudding among 4 bowls, press plastic wrap onto the surface and chill for at least 1.5 hours, until cold and set.
  8. To serve, top each bowl with a quarter of the chopped orange and a quarter of the chopped chocolate chips.
