arroz con leche

This creamy Spanish arroz con leche recipe is my mother-in-law&#039;s favorite. It&#039;s Spanish rice pudding done right!

Spanish Arroz con Leche Recipe

short grain rice

lemon rind

cinnamon

salt

¼ cups of whole milk

Sugar

Rinse the rice under cold water and then put it in a saucepan over a medium heat, just barely covered with water (you could also cover it with milk for even creamier arroz con leche).

Add the cinnamon stick and lemon rind. Stir continually until all of the water is absorbed.

Add milk about ½ cup at a time, stirring each time until all is absorbed. Continue adding up to the whole liter of milk, stirring continuously.

When is seems creamy enough, taste to make sure the texture of the rice is correct. Some prefer it al dente and others like it very cooked (almost mushy).

When it is to your liking, turn off the heat and add a pinch of salt and dash of cinnamon. Then, add the sugar a few tablespoons at a time until it is sweet enough for you. Enjoy warm or let cool.

Sprinkle a bit more cinnamon on top to decorate!

Arroz Con Leche Recipe

water

white rice

evaporated milk

can sweetened condensed milk

milk

Add water, rice and cinnamon sticks to a large saucepan and cook on medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and let cook for 16-18 minutes.

Drain liquid from the sauce pan, remove cinnamon sticks and put rice back in the pan. Add all 3 milks - evaporated milk, condensed milk and whole milk to the pan. Let come to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring constantly. The milk can easily burn so it's important to stir as much as possible as it thickens.

Pour rice into cups and sprinkle on cinnamon. If you like more cinnamon, add 1 tsp of cinnamon in when adding the milks. Serve warm.

This is the best rice pudding recipe! This Tres Leches Rice Pudding is made with three kinds of milk, tender rice, and a hint of cinnamon come together in the creamiest, dreamiest dessert you&#039;ve ever tasted.

Tres Leches Rice Pudding

Water

Medium-Grain Rice

((or

Evaporated Milk

Sweetened Condensed Milk

Milk

Vanilla Bean Paste

Cinnamon ((can stir into rice pudding

Heavy Cream

Powdered Sugar

Rice the rice thoroughly. Rinse the rice 4-5 times until the water runs almost clear. This step removes excess surface starch, preventing the pudding from becoming gummy and helping it cook evenly into a creamy texture. Skipping the rinse leads to sticky, clumpy, gummy rice pudding -- not the silky texture we want.

Cook the rice. In a deep, large saucepan, bring the water, rinsed rice, and salt to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed -- about 15-18 minutes. If there is still water leftover, drain it before adding the 3 milks

Add the 3 milks to the rice. Once the rice is cooked, stir in evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk. Cook over medium-high heat and bring to a boil (watch carefully so it doesn&#39;t overflow). Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick, about 18-20 minutes. The rice pudding will thicken as it cools.

Taste for sweetness and add more sweetness if desired. Stir in cinnamon and vanilla bean paste, if desired.

Make homemade whipped cream or use spray whipped cream. In a bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Serve. Spoon the warm rice pudding into bowls or chill in the refrigerator if you prefer to serve it cold. Top with fresh whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.
