Venezuelan milk-cooked rice pudding scented with cinnamon and lemon peel.
About Arroz con Leche Venezolano
Venezuelan arroz con leche is a creamy rice pudding. Oriana Romero's family version cooks white rice in whole milk with cinnamon sticks, lemon peel, sugar and salt, then finishes it with condensed milk and butter.
Cinnamon and lemon bring warm spice and bright citrus to the rich dairy base. Condensed milk deepens the sweetness without obscuring the flavour of the rice.
The finished pudding is thick, creamy and studded with tender rice grains, with ground cinnamon visible on top. It may be served hot, warm or cold; heavy cream is an optional adjustment if it thickens too much after cooling.
