Directions
Arroz con Leche is a comforting and simple no-fuss dessert that’s guaranteed to satisfy any sweet tooth.
How to Make Arroz Con Leche:
-
In medium or large pot over a high heat, put the rice, cinnamon sticks, salt, and water.
-
Mix together and bring to a boil.
-
Once boiling, cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes until most of the water has evaporated.
-
Add the milk, give it a stir, cover, and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Add the sugar, give it another stir, cover, and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Remove the lid, raise the heat to medium-high and cook for another 5 minutes or until the rice pudding has reached a thick consistency.
-
Remove from the heat and let the rice cool for 15 minutes. This will help the pudding thicken even more.
-
Serve warm or refrigerate for 2 hours and serve cold.
-
Garnish with cinnamon, chopped nuts, a spoonful of caramel, or any other topping you fancy.
