Bring the milk to a boil with 2 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir in the rice pudding and cook over low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, drain the cherries in a sieve. Retain the juice and reduce it by half over high heat. Break 75g of chocolate into pieces and melt it in the cherry juice. Add the cherries and warm them through. Season with cinnamon and cayenne pepper to taste. Serve the cherries with the rice pudding. Coarsely grate the remaining chocolate and sprinkle it on top.
