Put the rice, milk, cream, cocoa and sugar in a heavy pan. Whisk to get rid of cocoa lumps.

Bring to a gentle simmer over a medium heat, stirring, then turn the heat low.
- 3
Cook for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring every few minutes so it does not catch, until the rice is soft and the pudding is thick and creamy.
