Arancini al Cioccolato | Traditional Snack From Sicily, Italy | TasteAtlas

Arancini al cioccolato

Arancini con cioccolato is a traditional variety of arancini rice balls originating from Sicily. For this version, the arancini are filled with flavored chocolate sauce. The filling usually consists of dark chocolate, sugar, vanilla, butter, cinnamon, and grated lemon zest.


The rice is cooked with milk and sugar, stuffed with the chocolate mixture, and the arancini are then breaded and deep-fried in oil until the exterior becomes golden. Before consumption, it's recommended to drain the chocolate-stuffed rice balls. They're traditionally served as a dessert or a sweet snack.
