Bailey's Irish Cream Chocolate Rice Pudding

I don't know about you but I always have leftover rice, either from Carry-out or when I make it at home. Instead of reheating it I like to reuse it to make one of my all time favorite desserts, rice pudding. This week I thought I would adapt a recipe I have used in the past to include chocolate(of course) and a little Baileys Irish Cream.

Dark Chocolate Atole

As the weather get warmer a cup of hot chocolate in the morning or before bed is one of my favorite beverages. This chocolate atole is a wonderful addition to your drinking chocolate repertoire because it "kicks it up a notch" with a little spice and a little rum. The consistency is a bit like pudding because of the cornmeal. I think you will love it on a cool Fall or winter evening.

1/2 cup of fine ground cornmeal

21/2 cups of whole milk

21/2 cups of water
