Ingredients
- 190g long-grain white rice
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 6g lemon zest
- 3 whole cloves
- 900ml water
- 1 egg
- 700ml whole milk
- 1 tin sweetened condensed milk (340g)
- 15ml vanilla essence
- 75g sultanas, optional
Method
How to make Arroz con leche
1) Soak the rice, cinnamon sticks, lemon zest and whole cloves in the water in a heavy saucepan for 1 hr.
2) After soaking, bring the rice mixture to a boil on high heat, uncovered. When it starts to boil (about 5 mins), lower the heat to medium and cook for 10 to 12 mins or until water is almost evaporated.
3) While rice is cooking, beat the egg in a bowl. Add the milk and stir well to mix. Add the egg mixture, vanilla essence and condensed milk to the rice and cook over medium-low heat, stirring carefully, until it thickens slightly or until desired consistency, about 25 to 35 mins.
4) Let cool uncovered.
Note: be aware that as the rice cools it thickens. The finished product will be thinner than traditional rice pudding.
