Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this recipe up to 3 days ahead. Keep it in the refrigerator before serving.
- How to Store: Keep the arroz con leche in the refrigerator for five days. This does not freeze well.
- You can substitute the vanilla extract for 1 vanilla bean sliced in half long ways. Add it to the rice while it is cooking with the whole milk. Before serving it, scrape the inside of each split vanilla bean pod to remove the vanilla beans and mix the small beans back into the arroz con leche. Discard the pods.
- Feel free to serve this with raisins, currants, or nuts.
- To cool the arroz con leche faster, spread it on a sheet tray or in a casserole dish before placing it in the refrigerator.
