Description
Simple recipe for creamy and comforting Mexican rice pudding, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 4 cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- Ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Remove the cinnamon stick. Stir in the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- Stir in the raisins, if using. Continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Serve warm or chilled, garnished with ground cinnamon.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to your preference.
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of evaporated milk.
- Add a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness.
