Preparation

To make the pudding

• In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, salt, and rice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook at a vigorous simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender but not breaking apart and the pudding is still a little soupy but thicker than cream, about 15 minutes. Stir in the chopped chocolate and butter until well combined; the mixture will thicken. Mix in the raisins, if using. Divide among eight parfait glasses for serving and chill until needed.
• Meanwhile, make the cream cheese mousse. Spoon equal amounts of the mousse over the pudding in the glasses. Chill until needed, at least 30 minutes.
