Arroz con leche is one of my kids favorite desserts to eat. I rarely make it because when they have a craving for it, usually my mother in law makes it for them. So last night, I thought I would make some for them as a little surprise. It is a very simple thing to make!
So here are the things you will need to make this warm, comforting desert! Now just to let you know, I made a lot! So you can just take the recipe and half it so that you don't make so much. OR, make it and take some to work, or share it with someone you know who loves it!
You will need :
2 cups of rice6 Cups of water
4 cups of milk
1 can of evaporated milk
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup of sugar
1 tbsp. of vanilla extract
1-2 sticks of cinnamon
ground cinnamon to taste
So to get started on this dish, you want to combine the water, cinnamon sticks, and sugar in a large stock pot. Bring this to a boil. Once it has boiled, add your rice to the water. Now cook until the rice is soft and most of the water has been absorbed by the rice. When rice is nice and tender, add your milk and vanilla. This is a dish that has to kind of be baby sat. You can't just leave it alone. You have to constantly be stirring it to make sure that the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. once you have added your milk you can reduce the heat to medium and just keep stirring, just keep stirring. Once you see that the milk has absorbed into the rice some, you can add your can of evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. AND again, keep stirring that rice. You want to make sure the rice doesn't break into a mush, but that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Have I mentioned that enough times? Lol! So once you have seen that a lot of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice and the rice is nice and tender....YOU ARE SO DONE! :) Now taste your dish and if you are like my kids and you enjoy a stronger cinnamon flavor, add some ground cinnamon until you are satisfied with the flavor.
