Coffee Dessert Risotto is a unique twist on traditional savory risotto with a sweet and tangy twist. This dessert is perfect for those who love coffee and are looking for a light and fresh end to a heavy meal. The creamy texture of the risotto pairs perfectly with the added orange zest and heavy cream. This Italian-inspired dessert, although not particularly healthy, can be enjoyed as an occasional sweet treat.

Instructions

1.In a small bowl, mix together the instant coffee powder or freshly brewed espresso, orange juice, and water until combined.
2.In a separate heavy-bottomed pot, add in the arborio rice and pour in the coffee mixture. Stir the rice and liquid together until it comes to a simmer.
3.Slowly pour in the milk while stirring frequently until the rice has absorbed the milk and the mixture has thickened. This should take around 20-25 minutes.
4.Once the risotto consistency is achieved, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, sugar, and butter until well combined.
5.In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and rum (if using) until stiff peaks. Serve the risotto warm or cold with a dollop of cream and orange zest on top.
