Arroz con Leche
Spanish-style rice pudding with milk, cinnamon, lemon zest and vanilla.
About Arroz con Leche
Arroz con leche is a rice pudding with many regional versions. This Spanish-style recipe from GOYA combines medium-grain rice with whole milk and sweetened condensed milk.
Cinnamon and vanilla provide warm fragrance, while lemon zest gives the dairy-rich pudding a fresh citrus note. Lemon is the selected option instead of the source’s orange-zest alternative.
The rice is tender within a thick, creamy mixture. It is presented in a serving bowl, warm or chilled, with ground cinnamon as an optional finishing sprinkle.
