Tips & Tricks

  • For a richer flavor, you can add a small piece of dark chocolate to the mixture while cooking.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted rice flakes for added texture and presentation.
  • Leftover Choco Rice Delight can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold as a refreshing dessert.
