Portuguese Carolino rice pudding with milk, egg yolks and cinnamon.
About Arroz Doce
VisitPortugal shares this traditional Portuguese arroz doce from the Tourism and Hotel Business School of Lisbon. The recipe is based on Maria de Lourdes Modesto’s traditional preparations and uses Carolino rice.
Milk, butter and egg yolks enrich the pudding, with sugar providing sweetness. Lemon peel and a cinnamon stick supply the aromatic notes through the rice.
The rice sits in a thickened milk-and-yolk mixture. Ground cinnamon finishes the serving, giving the pale pudding a contrasting spice layer across its surface.
