Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Milk
Provides the liquid that cooks with the rice to form a creamy, pourable pudding.
Cooked rice
Absorbs the milk as it simmers, thickening the mixture and giving the pudding its body.
Sugar
Adds sweetness and helps balance the flavor of the chocolate.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Melt into the hot milk to give the pudding its chocolate flavor and color.

The step that matters

Cook until thick and creamy, stirring often. Milk can scorch on the bottom of the pan if left unstirred, and the starch from the rice needs steady heat and stirring to thicken evenly into a smooth pudding.
