Chacha's Arroz Con Leche Cuban Rice Pudding


Growing up, my aunt chacha cooked 6 nights a week for 6-8 people. she used traditional cuban recipes, made everything from scratch and bought everything fresh. this is my all time favorite dish.

Steps


Boil rice , lemon zest , vanilla & cinnamon stick in water until rice is soft.
Add milk , salt , and sugar.
Cook over medium flame stirring occasionally until it thickens.
Turn over into a pyrex-type dish & powder with cinnamon.
I leave zest & cinnamon stick in the dish and serve around it as it continues to put out flavor.
Serve warm or chilled.

Ingredients
