Arroz con Leche

Arroz con Leche is Mexico's most cherished dessert, a creamy rice pudding perfumed with cinnamon that evokes warmth, family, and childhood memories. Long-grain white rice is simmered first in water with a stick of Mexican cinnamon until tender, then enriched with a combination of whole milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk that gives it an incomparably creamy, luscious texture. The pudding thickens as it cools, and it is equally delicious served warm from the pot or cold from the refrigerator, dusted with ground cinnamon.
