Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring the rice remains fluffy.
2
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil with a pinch of salt, then add the rice. Cover and cook over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the water is absorbed.
3
While the rice is cooking, chop the dark chocolate and prepare the chili flakes, cinnamon, and cacao nibs.
4
Once the rice is cooked, pour in the coconut milk and honey, then stir well to combine.
5
Add the chopped dark chocolate, cinnamon, and chili flakes, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
6
Sprinkle with toasted cacao nibs and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7
Serve warm or slightly cooled to fully appreciate the silky texture of the chocolate and the subtle heat of the chili.
