You probably won’t see this but I found your video very helpful! my girlfriend is Hispanic and shared this is one of her favorite dishes, wanting to be romantic I learned how to make it (with your help from the video!) and let her mom try it first to make sure it was up to standard 🤣 and it was!! They both loved it and while this happened a month ago. I’ve come back to recap myself since I’m making it again and I read the blurb in the caption and just wanted to share that you really helped me out as me and her are doing great! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes, I hope you’re doing great 💛💛💛💐🌻

I agree with that most of these “arroz con leche “ videos got the fancy milk or other type of milk that you can add to make it sweeter which doesn’t seem original to me because I don’t remember that and I don’t like the fact that they would add that fancy milk 😞

Tried this and it was hella good 🤤 Two suggestions: If you dont like things suuper sweet then do less than 1/2 cup of sugar. Or just do the condensed milk and add as you go. And If you like youre arroz con leche on the watery side then youre going to need some more milk cause this one is thick af like pudding.

I don't know about anyone else but in my household growing up my mami would let it stick a little at the end and stir right before serving. Let me tell you those little brown bits gave it such a light smokey flavor. It's the only way my kids will eat to this day😂 And the only milk used is evaporated milk so we up the sugar a bit. Yummy!!

4 cups of water with three cinnamon stick a bri g to a boil. Then add (rinsed rice 1 cup and 1/2) to boiling water stir bring heat down to medium. When your rice is cooked, your still gonna have a little water. Add 2 cans evaporated milk, then add i1 can sweet Condensed milk. Let it simmer till a soft thickness. Off heat let stand till pudding like, stir refrigerate couple hours serve with cinnamon 😋

water Add 2 big cinnamon sticks Salt Let it boil Once it boils add rice and turn down heat to medium Leave uncovered for 15-20 minutes stirring continuously (Meanwhile warm up milk separately) Add milk to rice when rice still hasn’t fully absorbed the water like in 3:27 Add hot milk to rice and stir to combine fully Add can of evaporated milk and a can of sweetened condensed milk Add sugar (optional) Stir continuously and put a lid on Keep heat on medium low to simmer for ~30 minutes After 30 minutes turn off heat Let it sit 30 minutes to absorb milk

I don’t add no other added milks. Just milk after it’s done. I don’t even heat up the milk. I know that I can but i just add the milk once rice is done. It’ll cool it down and it’s still thick. I usually only make this when it’s a cold morning for my kids. They like cinnamon and sugar with it. So that’s how I make it. We also called it atole

Nice job. I always find it fascinating how we can make the same dish differently. We always cooked our rice in our milk, whole plus cream. This is my childhood’s favorite treat. The sweet came from honey and we used a good vanilla and cinnamon sticks. Then we added two egg yolks (tempered) at the very end. We made it every January. Yum. Great job.

What does evaporated milk add to the rice pudding that regular milk does not? I just want to understand the purpose of evaporated milk in rice pudding.

@elvee_ 2 жыл бұрын

hi! evaporated milk is just milk that has been previously heated to get rid of most of its water content therefore making it a rich and creamy milk. it just adds another layer of flavor to the rice pudding and helps thicken it and make it luscious and decadent. 😊
