Arroz Con Leche (Rice Pudding) Tips

What are the origins of arroz con leche?

Arroz con leche is a Spanish version of rice pudding where the milk and rice are sweetened, cooked and flavored, creating a thick dish. Horchata is also made with milk, sugar and rice, however the rice is soaked, and the solids are then strained out creating a delicious chilled beverage.

Why is my arroz con leche hard?

When over-cooked and under-stirred, arroz con leche can get quite firm. Stirring with a flat edge wooden spoon or spatula while cooking will prevent sticking and burning on the bottom of the pan.

What goes well with arroz con leche?

Whether it’s time for breakfast, a snack or dessert, arroz con leche is a welcome dish. Top it with some sliced mangoes or berries for a fresh bite or stir in the zest of one lemon to balance the sweetness with a little acid. Try serving arroz con leche as a dessert after a paella dinner, or pair it with fruit compote.
