Peruvian Rice Pudding: Arroz con leche peruano
Arroz con Leche” is one dessert that remembers my childhood. My great-grandmother taught me her own recipe and all my family love it. So every time I cook this, everybody offers to “clean” the pot. I´ll hope you try this and let your family embrace this tradition of cleaning the pot.

Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons of long-grain rice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 whole cloves
- 1-2 cups of water
- 2 cans of evaporated milk
- 2 cans of condensed milk
- Cinnamon to sprinkle
Notes
- Pour the rice, cinnamon stick and cloves into a pot. Cover with water, and pour enough water to have 1 cm above the rice. Let it cook until the water is evaporated. Stir occasionally. Try the rice, if it is not tender enough add some more water and let it cook. You need to have your rice completely cooked before the next step.
- As soon as your rice is cooked add the evaporated milk and condensed milk and cook them in a medium-heat pot. Stir all the time while cooking, otherwise, your preparation will stick to the bottom. Cook until you see the bottom of the pan, it will be approximately 20 minutes. You could eat it warm or refrigerate overnight and eat it cool…taste both and choose your best. Sprinkle with some cinnamon before consuming it.
