Arroz con Leche
Description
This Arroz con Leche recipe starts by boiling rice and cinnamon sticks in water until the rice is tender. After draining, a combination of sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk is added and gently simmered, requiring frequent stirring to prevent scorching and to develop a thick, creamy consistency. The cinnamon sticks infuse the dish with subtle spicy warmth, enhancing the sweetness of the milks.
The finished pudding is served warm with a dusting of ground cinnamon, which adds a fragrant touch to the smooth texture. This dessert is a traditional comfort food often enjoyed on its own or as part of a meal.
For best results, cook the pudding slowly on low heat with regular stirring to avoid burning. It can be made ahead, stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days, and reheated with milk to restore a smooth texture. Variations may include adding nuts or fruits as toppings to customize flavors.
Ingredients
- 7 cups water
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cinnamon stick
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 cup milk whole
- ground cinnamon for topping
Instructions
- Combine water, rice, and cinnamon sticks in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, uncovered, and cook for 16–18 minutes.
- Drain any remaining liquid, remove the cinnamon sticks, and return the rice to the pan over medium-high heat. Add sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring regularly. The milk can easily burn, so it is important to stir frequently as it thickens.
- Divide rice among serving cups and sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve warm.
Notes
- Store Arroz con Leche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat gently in a pot or slow cooker, adding a little milk to maintain a creamy consistency.
- Stir frequently during cooking to prevent milk from scorching and to ensure even thickening.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
- Enhance with toppings such as cinnamon, fruits, or nuts according to preference.
