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.
