How to Make Chacha's Arroz Con Leche Cuban Rice Pudding
- Rinse 1 cup of medium-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cinnamon stick with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed.
- Stir in 4 cups whole milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Increase heat to medium.
- Cook, stirring frequently, for about 30-40 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and reaches your desired consistency. The pudding will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Carefully pour the Arroz con Leche into a greased Pyrex or other oven-safe dish.
- Sprinkle generously with ground cinnamon. Leave the lemon zest and cinnamon stick in the dish or serve them separately alongside the rice pudding.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm or chill completely in the refrigerator for a cooler treat. Enjoy!
