ARROZ CON LECHE | Mexican Rice Pudding ❤

This delicious Arroz Con Leche is thick, sweet and creamy, and it takes me far back to my childhood. This was a dish my mom made often, and always told us it was nutritious and good for us. There are many different variations of this delicious rice pudding, some like it with evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk and some like it with plain milk and sweetened with sugar of choice. When I make Arroz Con Leche I use whole milk, turbinado sugar (slight molasses flavor) cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, golden raisins and vanilla extract until it's thick and creamy. After serving it, I like to top it with a pinch of ground cinnamon and enjoy it as a dessert, snack or breakfast. This Arroz Con Leche can be enjoyed with your favorite side or enjoyed alone and can be refrigerated for 1 to 2 days. Whether hot or cold this amazing dessert can be enjoyed anytime of the year, but always so perfect on a cold, rainy or chilly day.❤
INGREDIENTS----------------
3 1/2 C. water
1 C. rice (I used Jasmine rice rinsed well)
2 long cinnamon sticks (broke in half)
2 whole cloves (discard before serving)

3 1/2 C. whole milk

[@virginiarossman6796]

I was just thinking about sweet rice lastnight!!! Mama used to make it quite often in the winter. She would toast bread in the oven with butter and cinnamon, so delicious, wonderful memories of days gone by. Thank you mija. God bless you always

[@sharallmelton643]

Thanks for sharing l had forgotten about this. As a kid we used to have this for breakfast it was so delicious then and I'm sure it's the same delicious now. I never knew that's how it was prepared.When your a kid your mom would have breakfast ready in the morning and you sometimes don't realize the love that's put into it. Thanks for bringing back good memories.

[@lorenafierro2026]

This is the same way my mother would make hers. You bring back so many memories of my childhood. I learned how to cook with my mom, and she pretty much made a lot of your recipes. My parents were from Texas as well. So that explains all the delicious recipes. Beautiful family traditions. You stay blessed, beautiful lady. 🌹🙏

[@lourdesfajardo3515]

I Absolutely love your cooking🍳! Thanks so much! Your Awesome! ❤

[@dragosisters8548]

[@elsaestrada-morales8604]

Exactly , love that ! Straight to the point..😍 n explains Soo well!😊blessings

[@veevee111]

I like using Arborio short grain rice, like the one used for paella and risotto. It lends an extra creaminess, which I love. In this case, I will not use the maseca flour but I will use coconut milk, evaporated and sweetened condensed milks as well. Thanks for sharing your tips on toasting the spices first.

[@lindagarcia2486]

Hi Rachel!!! Definitely going to try this! I made your tortillas tonight, for burritos! My family loved them! I told them that it was thanks to Rachel!!! Thank you for all of your help! 💜

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Yayyy!!! Thank you so much for letting me know. Blessings ❤

[@floralopez337]

My Mom always used milk too! This looks wonderful Ms. Rachel! Que ricura! Thank you for sharing your recipe! Have a blessed day! Dios te bendiga siempre!

[@aldl55]

Mmm Rachel I love it just like you made it. My Mom would also make it with whole milk and so do I. It's freezing here in Michigan and some arroz con leche would sure be a comfort right about now! I love your channel. You make it easy to follow your delicious recipes and go into very informative details . Thank you for your patience and also the beautiful way you show love to "your Ron". That is so cute. God bless, Anna

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you Anna, i absolutely love what I do. I love cold weather, my Ron is so tired of it, that's why we come down to Texas from Ohio...I like using milk as well, that's how my mom tought me. Blessings my friend. ❤

Rachel, you have done it again ... I was not hungry before, but now I will head to the kitchen and make some for myself. I make mine not much different than yours although I use 2% milk and about 3/4 of raisins. It warms my heart when you acknowledge "your Ron" in your various recipes ... I love it!!!

Dear Lord lady...you are gifted. I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing!

[@aprilarmijo6967]

When I was little we didn't have much to eat but my grandmother would always make me sweet rice as a treat.She would make a huge pan of it and I remember she wouldn't let anyone get any until I had my first bowl 😂... I guess I was her favorite ❤️🤗... She would cook on a wood stove , add hot water to the raisins in a little cup and let them swell up add cinnamon and add sweet condensed milk and a little sugar. We didn't have electricity so she would cover the pan and put it in the back room where it was cold... I will always have this special memories 💞 and this is why Arroz con leche will always be my favorite ❤️🤗! Thank you Grama Carmen for being so good to me...I miss you dearly and love you for eternity!!!❤️

[@vanetzamenjivar6851]

Wow my grandma did is for us went we was little . just good memories she has passed away and we don't do that anymore but now I will make it myself thanks to you Rachel well God bless you and our Ron like you say .my Ron God bless you and your beautiful family

This is our favorite dessert from my childhood!! My mother made it with evaporated milk. So delicious 😋 thank you for the memories of eating this. I haven’t made it but I am going to now.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

You're welcome my friend. Sweet memories. Enjoy.❤

[@sandrarivera8374]

We also make it with evaporated milk. I love it cause it's thicker than the regular milk. Has a better taste also. My mom use to give it to us with flour tortillas and butter. OMG, it was so good. Now I eat it with toasted bread, but still delish!!😋😋

[@eddraromero8142]

I was raised using all three! I will be trying your recipe though. Thank you for sharing. Good bless you and your Ron.

[@richardvtagle]

Perfect recipe and this one is simply love in a mug. I really love this recipe as I've never thought about toasting the cinnamon and adding cloves. Once again dear Rachel, you tickle our palates with a delicious recipe. Blessings and much love sent y'alls way for a wonderful rest of your week.

[@TeresaXBut]

Love all your videos you have delicious looking food look forward to seeing you

[@judydwiggins3456]

My mother, whose parent’s were from Norway made a dish very similar. I grew up eating it as comfort food as a child. Delicious,

[@lorainedeyoe6104]

Oh just like mom made, we just called it sweet rice. Mom and daddy didn’t talk Spanish to us kids, but if they were talking to each other they spoke Spanish. Lil did they know we could understand some. Wish l was fluent in Spanish.

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Thank you so much for your comment, my Ron is slowly learning spanish.❤

[@ajay-vu6or]

I have been binge watching your videos and love them so much. So many of your recipes remind me of my mom’s cooking. She was born and raised in Mexico. But she cooked by memory and never wrote anything down. I watched everything she did best I could. Lol But seeing you do this rice dish, so many memories! Now I know how it is done,☺️. All thanks to your teaching!Thank-you so very much!💖🥰. I recognized all your recipes from growing up and now I will have amounts etc. 🤪

[@doveabele1257]

You did it right. Thank you!! I get so frustrated watching people trying to cook Mexican who don't have the tradition behind it. The only thing you didn't do that I do, is I soak the water for the rice overnight with the cinnamon sticks in it, to get every bit of the flavor, then I use that water to cook the rice in and replace the cinnamon sticks with fresh ones . Again, thank you from a grateful New Mexican girl❤

[@dorothysprague2088]

Very good thank you for sharing

You’re welcome my friend,thank you so much.❤️

Rachel I stop preparing dinner so I could sit and enjoy my bowl of Aroz Con Leche! Followed your recipe and my goodness it's heavenly. I love the Turbinado sugar. The molasses flavor takes it to the top. Can't wait for my Peter to taste it! Thank you again for another recipe provided with so much love ❤️ Blessings to you and your Ron🙏🏼❤

[@melyndasmith3304]

Looks yummy , my mom loves this. I will make her some 😊

[@dianebejarano209]

I made some today. It is a remedy and I had to boil it. But as mine was cooking I checked several videos. Then I saw yours. So I haven't even tasted mine. I have Covid. My taste buds are okay. I had to watch you make it. Because I know Rachel will do it correctly step by step. SEE! I'm a really good cook but you are a master. Maybe you could do a video on Mexican remedy foods. Like menudo. I like mine for breakfast with two slices buttered toast. I put in the bowl thick and pour a drizzle of milk and stir it up. I do make with and without raisins. But I always seem to be out of raisins. Keep up your wonderful Master Class. I just asked God to provide me a home. I never married and now rent a room. I need a home, where I am free to cook and be creative play instruments and have people over and share my food with them.

Gracias for the arroz con leche....as a child my mom made it, to this day I make it too. These days we have so many convient/short cuts in our foods, pre-cooked, packed, delivery, rarely do I use those easy ways. In my culture there is always the basics...but for the sweet rice theres always can milk, canela, clavo in the armarios....right!?.....your recipe just like mine 👍
