This sweet treat is often served at special occasions and celebrations. Our recipe for Arroz con Dulce combines the classic flavors of coconut, cinnamon, and raisins with a touch of vanilla and a hint of nutmeg.

Steps:
- Combine rice, coconut milk, milk, sugar, vanilla bean, and salt, in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover the pot, leaving the lid slightly ajar. Simmer for 30 minutes. Stir the pot occasionally with a wooden spoon until the mixture has a creamy consistency.
- Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water until they soften, about 6 minutes. Take the coconut mixture off the heat, squeeze the excess water from the sheets of gelatin, and add to the coconut mixture. Stir to dissolve the gelatin. Remove the vanilla bean, and divide the pudding into 4 (3-ounce) ramekins.
- Chill overnight. To unmold the puddings, place ramekins into a hot water bath for about 30 seconds and invert on a plate. Garnish with mango slices.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product. Use fresh, ripe coconut milk, high-quality rice, and flavorful spices.
- Cook the rice slowly and carefully: Overcooked rice will be mushy and unappetizing. Cook the rice slowly over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
- Add the coconut milk and spices gradually: This will help to prevent the rice from curdling and will allow the flavors to meld together more harmoniously.
- Sweeten the pudding to your taste: The amount of sugar you add to the pudding is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve the pudding warm or chilled: Coconut rice pudding can be served warm or chilled. If you serve it warm, top it with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkling of cinnamon. If you serve it chilled, let it cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
Conclusion:
Coconut rice pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it warm or chilled, with or without raisins, coconut rice pudding is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
