EASY Dominican Arroz con Leche Recipe | Easy Rice Pudding | Chef Zee Cooks

Arroz con Leche is an easy dessert to make if you make the white rice ahead of time and then add the cream, sugar, cinnamon and more! I personally love having rice pudding warm, but sometimes it can take a long time to make. In today’s video, I show you my trips and tricks to making these easy arroz con leche cremoso (creamy!). All you need is rice, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. In fact, I will show you exactly the way that my grandmother used to make it with lime peels, which gave it a classic Dominican flavor.

That lime peel is how you know this recipe is legit.

[@sancocho1718]

Please do Avena! It was my favorite growing up. Also. Would love to see arepa dulce. Love your channel!

[@Chefzeecooks]

Thank you!!! Both of those videos are actually up on my channel 🥰

[@1spartacus1337]

Totally!!!!

[@miabebesita]

condensed milk is what you needed to add instead of more sugar and milk, like that it can be more flavorable and sweet

[@TracyD2]

That sounds like like a good idea

[@LSK1]

Yup!

[@evasilvalayton758]

That’s a different recipe. Latinoamérica uses regular milk in the south, condensed milk in the north. It’s a matter of taste

[@smc4jmj1]

Love it cold. It’s the best. Thank you.

[@myrna5540]

I loved the little gadget you use for the cinnamon powder. My aunt used to make the best arroz con leche, sadly I never got her recipe. I love mine creamy and warm. YUMMALIOUS 😘

[@Nutrition2Nourish1]

Both ways. YUM!!

[@jackelynegarcia5696]

I just came back from Santiago and learned so much about the food and culture!!! I’ll be watching a learning more from here. Thanks for the video!!!!❤

[@micheleann3239]

That looks amazing! Can't wait to try it!

[@PrincesaDeDios74713]

I made a dairy free version of this with cashew milk for my husband because he's allergic to milk and he loveddddd it! Thanks chef Zee 😊

[@swankyangelo8527]

Que triste? Dique cashew milk, more like nut pudding. I’m playing pero no, like get him an allergy test and medicine so he can eat dairy again. Allergies can be cured if you’re willing to endure the discomfort for 6-18 months. What’s a bit of discomfort for a lifetime of yum? Well, ninja keep eating your nut pudding

[@drdluv]

What an odd reply @Swankyangelo8527. Anyway, the cashew milk is a great substitution. I will be trying!

[@ChitChatWithAlyCat]

i love this recipe! it reminds me of my moms arroz con leche, that lime peel is next level i love the smell and taste if it 💖💖 i’d love to see a farina recipe !

[@mr.lugomlo5723]

Thanks lot for the video, ni idea tenia como hacerlo y ahora que vi tu video haré uno este weekend 😊

[@joseojedamaggiolo583]

Omg love this!

[@glenysrosario1180]

Omg thank you!! Love your channel and all your recetas.. I made arroz con Leche for the 1st time and I love it 😀 😋 thank uu

[@mariaalexander427]

Hot or cold it's delicious! Childhood memories galore! Oh, the clavos!😋 Sometimes my mom would add raisins too.

[@Chefzeecooks]

Yes!!! Raisins are a classic touch. I completely forgot to mention that 😵‍💫

[@nancyrodriguez6777]

Riquísimos ❤👌

[@sevensasylum]

Hi, I loveeee your channel and you help me go back to my child hood when mi abuela used to cook all of this. She recently passed so I want to learn all her cuban dishes and you have them all 💙 thank you so much. I want to request if you could make a video on toastada cubana (cuban bread and butter toasted for those who don’t know) for breakfast. You know how cubans love their toastada for breakfast con cafe con leche. I mean however you make that breakfast do so, I just do not see any videos on Cuban toastada on KZbin and I think there should be although it is very simple. Again thank you for this beautiful channel and I hope you can make the video for us 💙💙💙💙

[@martintorres1782]

I really enjoy your video I was born in Dominican Republic in 1956 I came out here in 1963 with my mother unfortunately my mother died 3 years after she retired from her nursing career and she used to make rice pudding God when I seen you making this rice pudding and reminded me so much of my mother's rice pudding . So actually I'm trying to make Dominican rice pudding for the first time in my life. I remember she used to make me avena and that was so delicious too ❗ thank you so so much for making this video and don't stop from Los Angeles California

[@marionquezada6212]

I usualy use plant based milk for healthier version but i have to admit now that i ve done your recipe it is the very best for a creamy rice pudding. Regarding sugar 1/2 cup was more than enough. Amazing flavour and so much easier to make and quicker than on the stove for the rice part. Let s just see what the dominican guy in the house has to say about it lol thanks! Love your recipes!

[@Mrwilmar26]

Looking forward to following this recipe. Thx Chef!

[@Chefzeecooks]

Hope you enjoy

[@lelliesosa7039]

I love this recipe. Thank you. I will make it this Christmas in the morning. Happy Holidays.

[@brauliorivera312]

Klk this is my first time learning how to make this thank you do much it so good, i like to eat it warm. 😊😊

[@childofTheMostHigh4217]

Great recipe! Exactly how my mom used to make, plus a star anise for extra flavor. And raisins. Thanks girl! ❤

[@Chefzeecooks]

Oh man I need to try this with star anise. That sounds amazing!

[@Dyin4Kruger]

wtf is wrong with you putting raisins

[@alisagilmore4479]

Love mine warm, actually my nana would bake ours, the only difference you prepare yours stove top, can’t wait to try yours 💜💜

[@PrincesaDeDios74713]

I love the bloopers in there! Whoever edits does an amazing job 👏🏼 also I vote for room temp arroz con leche

[@Chefzeecooks]

Thank you!!!!!!! My husband and I decided to add so many of the funny moments throughout the videos now because it goes down sometimes whenever we film 😅

[@luisaJfc]

I like it warm and without sugar.. since we have arroz con leche y arroz con dulce. I have try it with a bit of sugar and is good too, I be putting some cocoa powder as well. Nice video! And great recipe!

[@soniaquintanilla3280]

I love it both ways hot and cold. Yes the texture changes between both temps.

[@Chefzeecooks]

That's the beauty with this dish is that you can have it a variety of different ways.

[@southernmade2008]

I can wait to make it! I like mines warm and with some raisins.

[@Chefzeecooks]

I forgot to mention that raisins are optional! I like it warm too.

[@scrane5500]

Definitely going to try this with some plant-based milk as I have a family history of Cancer and need to avoid all the estrogen in dairy--thanks for posting

[@latina1700]

Trying this out for sure!

[@Chefzeecooks]

Hope you like!

[@kenyavarner3184]

I like it warm and creamy

[@JanetOffutt-qg4tl]

Over it warm out of the pan but it's delicious cold too! Yum!

[@evasilvalayton758]

I use to fight for the right to scare the pot😂

[@marie462]

It’s my first time making arroz con leche. This recipe was easy to follow and it was delicious!! Glad I found your page! PS I like mine cold. Warm is good too but as a child we ate it cold.

[@sqlforeveryep215]

yo le hecho la canela, clavo dulce, sal y un poco de azúcar al rice cooker y después sigo con tus pasos --- Outstanding video!!! Go Platano power!

[@Tigerlily777]

Mmm that looks so yummy. I love it warm and a little runny, sometimes w/raisins 🥰

[@Chefzeecooks]

Oh man this brings me joy!!!! Warm is so good.

[@honeyartstudios]

I love arroz con leche either at room temp or warm

[@yankeeholic22]

Sometimes il like it hot BUT cold always is great ❤ depends on how I feel.... also soooo happy you did this video, my husband is Dominican and for some reason his family adds salt to it instead of sugar 🤢 .... lmaoooo love them but idntk what that is 😂😂😂 I only know the sugar version.

[@Withdest]

Can you do arroz con dulce 😍

[@eveleenguaiquier2775]

Omgggg easy peasy....love this recipe...and I F!@#$ LOVEEEE YOUR PINCHO..YOU SOOOO CUTE CARAJO

[@smc4jmj1]

Hi Chef Zee. Is the 2 cups rice the total after cooked or before. Also did you shut off the milk before you put the rice in or after? Thank you so much. I’ve been trying hard to make my Dominican grandmothers arroz con leche but I’ll never be able to ; honestly. She was a superb cook. I do make a recipe I found on KZbin that’s made in an instapot and it’s delicious. But I’d love to try this recipe because like you I want it to be as close to my grandmothers as possible. Thank you. This recipe looks awesome.

[@Yummie-Cakes]

She's so kool ❤

[@Avalon18Irish]

Can you please do red bean dessert 🍨

[@Mum1983_]

I’ll take it cold thank you! ❤️

[@rhinagonell]

Waooo gracias 😊 princesa de mi Dios . Dile a tu hermana que voy con ella súper dulce !!! Bueno … mi madre lo cocina sin azúcar y nos lo servía con canela y azúcar al lado del plato para que así le añadiéramos la cantidad deseada ya que en mi casa había muchos enfermos. Y me encanta sentir la textura del azúcar. Hot like a Dinner 🍲 Cold like a dessert 🍮

[@evasilvalayton758]

I like mine warm

[@JulissaVGrant]

Team cold 🤤

[@kimberlygonzalez3384]

Warm all day everyday lol

[@wendybaez2364]

I love arroz con leche warm or room temperature

[@Chefzeecooks]

So so so good! I agree.

[@blueblaze9862]

I prefer it cold:)

[@carmenvalentin8186]

Can you add raisins and nutmeg I'm Puerto Rican and I was taught to make the tea but this shortcut makes it easy for me, usually, a little long process, especially grating coconut, squeezing the coconut milk, too much work, and I was taught this way but my hand and arms get tired especially when I do this by myself. Thank you for the shortcuts.❤

[@TracyD2]

A lot of people add raisins and nutmeg. I say go for it. I love cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg. Sometimes a splash of rose water. I never grew up with lime juice with it I definitely should try it out.

[@leilarepubliccc180]

Cold>>>>

[@Klassico401]

I definitely eat mine hot definitely

[@Chefzeecooks]

It hits differently when it's hot. I agree.

[@theblessedone14]

Hey! I hope you are doing well 🇩🇴 please could make Dominican pan de mail? Thanks in advance!

[@user-vc9or5uc4x]

Can it be make without the whole milk?

[@vinguenivillegas2797]

Hola quiero que haga arroz con leche y majarete Arroz con leche y majarete

[@potatop172]

What about the raisins? 🍇

[@sunkissed_glam]

room temp is the way to do it

[@rociososa9588]

How much evaporated milk was that?

[@Chefzeecooks]

2 cans so roughly 3 cups 🥰

[@dannyroybal7394]

I Prefer Hot, No I Never Can't Ever Decide I Stay Hot Is More Welcoming, But Cold And Room T empty Aren't Far Behind.👍Thanks

[@jairomieses6601]

Hey guys, silly question but does anyone know the size of the pot being used in the video? I know my 4 qt isn’t large enough 😅

[@nayasgift]

thanks, add a pinch of ground cardamom, just a tiny pinch, you will be surprised

[@DarthBelly]

1.5 cups is waaay too much sugar for my taste. 1/2-3/4 cup would be perfect for me

[@Chefzeecooks]

I completely understand! The beauty with these recipes is that you can adjust to your liking. Thank you for watching 🤗
