Rice Pudding “arroz con leche”

28 Jul Rice Pudding “arroz con leche”

“Arroz con Leche” is one dessert that remembers my childhood. My great grandmother taught me this 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 tablespoon of rice

1 stick of cinnamon

5 whole cloves

water

2 cans of evaporated milk

2 cans of condensed milk

Cinnamon to sprinkle

Prep:

1. Pour the rice, stick of cinnamon and cloves in a pot. Cover with water, 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 cook before the next step. 
2. As soon as your rice is cook 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.
