Chocolate rice pudding

This is our veganised version of a recipe from the book 'French Women Don't Get Fat' by Mireille Guiliano. See it at Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com - not a veggie book by any means but we liked the general loving attitude to food and the whole ethos of eating and it was a good fun read.

Ingredients:

500 ml. soya milk

50g. sugar

half a teaspoon of vanilla extract

pinch of salt

200g pudding rice

85g. really dark chocolate (80%+ best) broken into small pieces

Bring milk, sugar and salt to the boil then add the rice. Stir occasionally while cooking for about 20 minutes - add more milk if too sticky. Stir in vanilla. Divide between 4 ramekins and insert the chocolate pieces into the middle and push down with a spoon. Leave at room temperature while you eat the rest of your dinner and the chocolate will all be melty and gorgeous by then...
