Directions:
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes, plus time to cook rice
In a large saucepan or small stockpot over medium heat, combine rice, milk and sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl set over a medium saucepan of simmering water, melt butter and chocolate.
Stir chocolate mixture, cinnamon and salt into rice mixture; bring to a boil. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the saucepan frequently, until mixture thickens, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in cheese and vanilla; transfer to twelve 8-ounce ramekins or other serving dishes. Set aside to cool to room temperature; transfer to the refrigerator to chill thoroughly, about 2 hours.
Top puddings with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and mint and serve.
Tip: Requeson is a Mexican cheese similar to ricotta. Look for it in Mexican markets, or substitute Real California ricotta.
