Arroz con leche

Creamy rice pudding

A truly delicious, creamy rice pudding. I like it less sweet; if you prefer it sweeter, use two cups of sugar.

Video in Spanish on my YouTube channel.

Ingredients

As I list them in the video description.

  • 3 l pasteurized milk
  • 2 cups white rice
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 large cinnamon stick or two small ones
  • 1 tsp liquid vanilla or ½ tsp powdered
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk

How it's made, in short

  1. Rinse the rice well and soak it 2 to 3 hours in very hot water.
  2. Drain it and put it in a pot with the milk, sugar, a pinch of salt, the cinnamon and vanilla.
  3. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it is about to boil.
  4. Lower the heat to minimum, cover and stir every three or four minutes until thick.
  5. Add the condensed milk, stir a few more minutes and serve.
