Arroz con Leche dessert recipe

A delicious combination of white rice, cinnamon, cloves, sugar, evaporated and condensed milk for a sweet treat. Easy to prepare, easy to eat.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup short-grain rice
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup brown or raw sugar
• 2 large cinnamon sticks
• 5 cloves
• 1 tablespoon powdered cinnamon
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1 rind lime (or 1 tablespoon orange peel)
• 2 tablespoons grated or desiccated coconut (to serve)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place the rice, cloves, cinnamon sticks, raisins and water in a medium-sized pot. It might be necessary to break the cinnamon stick into pieces to ensure the flavor really comes out. (Optional: add lemon rind or orange peel here.)
2. 2Cook for 15-20 minutes over low heat until the rice is cooked and all the water has been absorbed.
3. 3Take out the cinnamon stick and the cloves (and lemon rind if using).
4. 4Add the evaporated milk and boil for 7 minutes, reduce heat until it’s low, stir continuously.
5. 5Add the sugar and mix well.
6. 6Pour in the condensed milk and stir well until it’s evenly distributed throughout the pudding.
7. 7Serve warm or cold in individual cups or bowls, topping it off with a generous dusting of powdered cinnamon (and grated coconut, if using). Enjoy!
