Ingredients

1 cup short or medium grain rice
2 cinnamon sticks
6 whole cloves
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled & sliced
¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
3 cans (13.5 oz) coconut milk
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup white or brown sugar

In a large caldero or pot, add 1 can of coconut milk, the cinnamon sticks, cloves, ginger and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon, cloves and ginger with a slotted spoon.
To the pot with the infused coconut milk add 1 ½ cans of coconut milk (reserve the remaining ½ can for the end) and salt. Bring to boil, then add drained rice. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Add the remaining ½ can of coconut milk, sugar and raisins to the rice and gently stir. Continue cooking at a simmer, uncovered, until the rice is tender and creamy, about 15 minutes. Gently stir occasionally so rice doesn't stick to bottom of pot. It should look runny, but not soupy.

Tips:

Use high-quality rice: Look for medium or short-grain rice, such as Arborio or Valencia, which will absorb the coconut milk and spices well.
Toast the rice before cooking: This will help develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
Use fresh coconut milk: Canned coconut milk can be used, but fresh coconut milk will give your arroz con dulce a richer flavor.
Don't overcook the rice: Arroz con dulce should be cooked until the rice is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
Let the arroz con dulce cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to firm up.

Conclusion:

Arroz con dulce is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of toppings. It is a popular dish in Puerto Rico and other Latin American countries, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. ¡Buen provecho!
