Guatemalan rice pudding with dairy milks, egg yolks, cinnamon and orange peel.
About Arroz con Leche Guatemalteco
Helga Glaesel de Blanding presents this arroz en leche within Guatemalan family tradition. Her version honours a family memory while using the classic milk, sugar and egg-yolk combination she describes.
Cinnamon, orange peel and vanilla give the pudding its aroma. Whole, evaporated and sweetened condensed milk provide richness, with light brown sugar as the selected sweetener.
The rice forms a thick, creamy pudding with a silky milk-and-yolk body. Its grains remain part of the spooned dessert, carrying the citrus and cinnamon notes through the bowl.
