Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of white rice
- 4 cups of whole milk
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of raisins (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of white rice, 4 cups of whole milk, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. If using, fold in 1/2 cup of raisins at this point.
- Transfer the rice pudding to a serving dish or individual bowls, sprinkle with a little extra ground cinnamon for garnish if desired, and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm or chilled, and enjoy the creamy and comforting Arroz con Leche with a hint of cinnamon!
Arroz con Leche, a creamy and comforting rice pudding, has a rich history dating back to ancient times. Originating in Spain, this dessert made its way to Latin America during the colonization period, where it evolved with regional variations. The addition of cinnamon adds a warm and aromatic flavor to the dish, enhancing its appeal. Renowned chefs like Chef Jose Andres have put their own spin on this classic, while restaurants in Mexico City and Lima are celebrated for their exceptional Arroz con Leche. The key to a perfect Arroz con Leche lies in the balance of creamy texture, delicate sweetness, and a hint of cinnamon.
