RICE PUDDING -- MEXICAN STYLE, ARROZ CON LECHE



Rice Pudding -- Mexican Style, Arroz Con Leche image

This arroz con leche recipe comes from a calender cookbook called Mexico, The Beautiful Cookbook. My Mother-in-law was about to throw it out and I found this wonderful rice pudding recipe in it. It is by far the best I have ever tasted. I omit the the lime and orange peel but I am sure it's probably great with it. uuum, uuum good. *I have made no changes to the recipe but want to make a note that many Food.com users state a frustration with the stirring time so feel free to turn the heat up a little but I posted the recipe exactly as it was on the calendar. I apologize to anyone that has been frustrated. The end result is always wonderful though : ) THANKS for all the wonderful reviews, it is very much appreciated. Enjoy!!!

Yes, it's a bit time consuming . . . but worth every minute of it! Even though the recipe calls for vanilla beans, I've successfully substitued 1 tablespoon of vanilla. Found this recipe while cleaning out my old recipe box. Comes from May 2003 Bon Appetit. NOTE: The rice will seem soupy at first, but don't panic it will set up as it chills.

RICE ATOLE (MEXICAN RICE PUDDING/ARROZ CON LECHE)



Rice Atole (Mexican Rice Pudding/Arroz Con Leche) image

My mom adapted this from several recipes she found, in an attempt to copy the arroz con leche that we had while I was studying in Merida, in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The bakery sold it in little plastic cups, at room temperature. This isn't a true 'pudding' since it doesn't have any eggs--but it sure is good! I haven't actually made this myself yet--just enjoyed it at mom's house! Warming the milk before adding to the rice helps to avoid longer cooking times. Simply warm the milk in the microwave or in another pan shortly before adding it to the rice. This dish can easily be halved if you don't need such a large amount (or doubled if you need more). This is a nice recipe to pour into individual serving dishes (custard cups or ramekins work well) while still warm. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon to garnish, cool, and eat cold or at room temperature.

MOTHER-IN-LAW'S RICE PUDDING (ARROZ CON LECHE)



Mother-In-Law's Rice Pudding (Arroz Con Leche) image

This recipe is perfect if you need to make a relatively economical dessert for a crowd. I got it from my husband, who was born and raised in Peru. This is how his mother has always made arroz con leche, and it's the only recipe for it that I have ever seen that includes cloves and shredded coconut. These ingredients make it extra special, to judge by the compliments I get when I make it. And since the cinnamon and cloves are added while the rice is cooking, it makes the house smell good, too. (Special instructions included for picky eaters or those allergic to coconut and/or raisins.)

Provided by CatlingMex

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups uncooked long grain white rice (not instant or quick cooking)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup shredded coconut
2/3 cup raisins (more or less, to taste)
2 cups sugar (approximately, adjust to taste, can use either white or brown sugar or a combination of both)

Steps:

  • In a large kettle, boil the rice, cinnamon, and cloves in about 3 liters of water for 40 minutes or until cooked and very soft. (If it gets too thick and sticky before cooking has finished, add boiling water.).
  • Remove from stove. Stir in all the remaining ingredients, mixing well.
  • Taste to test for sweetness; this tastes sweeter warm than it will cold, so allow for that.
  • Pour into individual dessert dishes or disposable cups.
  • Eat while still warm (not hot), or refrigerate and eat cold. This dessert keeps well, refrigerated, for a few days, though some liquid will separate out on the top after a day or two; just stir it back into the rice before eating.
  • If you have picky or allergic eaters who don't do raisins and/or coconut but you don't want to omit these ingredients, just leave them out at first, when you are mixing the remaining ingredients into the cooked rice. Pour out portions for the special people, then mix in the "offending" ingredients with the remaining rice and serve the rest. If you are sure to mark which portions are "with" and which are "without," you can make everyone happy. :-).
