How to Make Arroz Con Dulce

  1. Rinse 1 cup of medium-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in 3 cups of cold water for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to soften.
  2. Drain the soaking water from the rice.
  3. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the drained rice and 3 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low, add 4 whole cloves and 1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick. Stir gently and simmer, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes, or until most of the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
  5. Stir in 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk, 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Continue to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for another 20-25 minutes, or until the remaining liquid has evaporated and the rice pudding has thickened to your desired consistency.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  8. Transfer the Arroz con Dulce to a greased casserole dish or serving bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to chill completely.
  10. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
