Hi Kevin – Thanks! The chocolate risotto actually was not that sweet despite having so much chocolate in it, because I used such a dark version of chocolate – I think if you made this with milk chocolate one would have a completely different sweet chocolate risotto – either way, the flavor combinations are endless as with most things involving chocolate, so there is a lot of room to put your own spin on the idea and play with your favorite flavors!

Yes, I think several fruits would work well, especially poached – but pears are quite possibly my favorite Winter fruit

That is such a great idea, I bet it would be good with all kinds of fruits.

My gosh. This sounds absolutely decadent, and to-die-for delicious. Your combination of flavours is so inspired, and I love how you plated the dish. Wonderful job!
