Rice Pudding (Arroz Con Leche)
Description
The Rice Pudding recipe calls for simmering milk, medium grain rice, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and optional raisins together until the rice becomes tender and the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency. Stirring occasionally and scraping the pan prevents sticking and ensures even cooking over about 15-20 minutes.
After the rice is fully cooked, condensed milk and butter are stirred in to provide extra creaminess and richness. Adjustments to consistency can be made by adding a small amount of milk if needed. The final pudding is served sprinkled with cinnamon or cinnamon sugar and additional raisins if desired.
This dessert offers a warm, mildly spiced flavor profile with the tenderness of rice complemented by sweet, fragrant ingredients. It can be served warm or chilled depending on preference, suitable as a comforting treat or after-meal dessert.
For best texture, the recipe emphasizes starting with uncooked rice rather than using pre-cooked rice to achieve the optimal creamy consistency unique to this preparation style.
Ingredients
- 6 cups milk full fat, low fat or skim
- 1 cup medium grain rice
- ¼ cup granulated sugar white
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- ¼ cup raisins or sultanas, optional
- ½ cup condensed milk optional
- 2 tablespoons butter optional, unsalted
Instructions
- Combine the milk, rice, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and raisins (sultanas) in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, mixing occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally while scraping the base and sides of the pan with a wooden spoon, until thick and creamy (about 15-20 minutes).
- Once rice is soft and cooked through, mix in the condensed milk and butter. Add ¼ cup extra milk ONLY if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
- Pour the rice among serving bowls; sprinkle with extra ground cinnamon (or cinnamon sugar), and raisins (or sultanas). Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use uncooked rice for this recipe to ensure the pudding becomes creamy and achieves the intended texture.
