A delicious twist on the beloved rice pudding.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of water
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 cup white rice (you can use quick ones)
  • 4 cups 2% milk
  • 1 can (380 grams or 13.4 oz.) of Dulce de Leche (available in Latino markets or the International aisle)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the rice following the instructions on the box, use a cinnamon stick in the cooking water and a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Place the milk and Dulce de Leche in a saucepan and heat over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the Dulce de Leche.

  3. 3

    Add the cooked rice and continue to cook over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently.

  4. 4

    Be careful. When the milk reaches the boiling state, it produces a lot of foam. Reduce the heat to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Wait until you reach the desired thickness. In my case, it took 24 minutes. Add the butter and turn off the heat.

  6. 6

    Remember: it will thicken when cold!

  7. 7

    Serve cold or warm with chocolate sprinkles, raisins, or just by itself.
