Arroz con Leche, or Rice Pudding, is a traditional creamy dessert made with rice, milk, sugar, and a touch of cinnamon. This beloved Latin American treat is comforting, delicious, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Arroz con Leche (Rice Pudding)
- Arroz con Leche is rich in carbohydrates and proteins from the rice and milk. It is also high in calcium.
Directions
In a large saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
In a separate large saucepan, combine the cooked rice, milk, sugar, and cinnamon stick. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency (about 15-20 minutes).
Remove the cinnamon stick and let the rice pudding cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
