Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 Cup short white rice*
2 1/2 Cups of water
1 small piece of a cinnamon stick (see picture below)
3/4 cup whole milk**
1/2 cup of condensed milk
1/4 cup of raisins (optional)
Ground cinnamon for dusting

Steps:

  • Place water, rice and the piece of cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, until rice is tender.
  • While the rice is cooking, mix the whole milk with the condensed milk and stir well.
  • The rice will be ready when all the water has evaporated and it has formed some holes over the surface like in the above picture.
  • Remove pot from heat. Pour the whole milk and condensed milk mix into the saucepan and stir. If you would like to add the raisins or vanilla extract, you can add them now.
  • Return saucepan to heat, cover and keep cooking until it thickens. It will take about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
  • If the rice looks too dry for your taste, add 1/4 cup of warm whole milk and stir. The end result has to look like a soft and creamy pudding.
  • If serving warm, place in small cups and sprinkle ground cinnamon. When serving cold, pour rice pudding into a container and cover with a plastic wrap pressed down to the rice surface and refrigerate. Dust with cinnamon when serving.

RICE PUDDING -- MEXICAN STYLE, ARROZ CON LECHE



Rice Pudding -- Mexican Style, Arroz Con Leche image

This arroz con leche recipe comes from a calender cookbook called Mexico, The Beautiful Cookbook. My Mother-in-law was about to throw it out and I found this wonderful rice pudding recipe in it. It is by far the best I have ever tasted. I omit the the lime and orange peel but I am sure it's probably great with it. uuum, uuum good. *I have made no changes to the recipe but want to make a note that many Food.com users state a frustration with the stirring time so feel free to turn the heat up a little but I posted the recipe exactly as it was on the calendar. I apologize to anyone that has been frustrated. The end result is always wonderful though : ) THANKS for all the wonderful reviews, it is very much appreciated. Enjoy!!!
