How to make Arroz con Leche:
I originally shared this recipe April 2020. Updated April 2022 and June 2024. I’m a huge rice pudding fan, and love both the American-style baked rice pudding and this Mexican rice pudding. The biggest difference between them is the way the rice is cooked. American rice pudding typically uses leftover rice and is baked or cooked on the stove. Arroz con leche is made with raw rice that cooks right in the creamy, cinnamon milk mixture and often contains sweetened condensed milk. Finish: Remove cinnamon stick from cooked rice mixture. Stir in sugar and raisins then cook for 10-15 minutes more, stirring often to avoid burning. Remove from heat then stir in butter, condensed milk, and vanilla. Serve warm or cold, sprinkled with ground cinnamon on top!
