Arroz con Leche (or Mexican rice pudding) is a comforting and simple Mexican dessert that’s guaranteed to satisfy any sweet tooth. It can be served hot or cold and is made with only 6 ingredients!
Let’s get started!
- milk - sugar - long-grain white rice - cinnamon sticks - salt - water - toppings
If you’d like to add in a mix-in like raisins or other dried fruit, I recommend adding it when you add in the milk.
*Quick Tip!*
In medium pot over high heat, add rice, cinnamon sticks, salt and water. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes.
