Growing up with a single mom all the ingredients she had was rice,milk,sugar,and cinnamon. No need for fancy milk to make it taste good.

[@MeandBee]

Would you happen to have the recipe? 🙂

[@LeoIsFine]

No need but it makes it way better

[@jossjoss2798]

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 😞

[@LeoIsFine]

@@jossjoss2798 no, trust the "fancy" milk makes it way better. Is not even that expensive LOL

[@adyisbored]

@@LeoIsFine it tastes better but i mean some of us are broke af

[@tutopatacon]

[@tobi9188]

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 💛💛💛💐🌻

[@elvee_]

[@gymbeastal5749]

Thank you for the video. My mom always made Sweet Rice for me. My usually only used cinnamon, vanilla, evaporated milk and sugar, every now and then she would add raisins. I like it cold or warm, and always with extra cinnamon!

[@melansalt7557]

Always extra cinnamon ❤

[@wellnesscanceradvocate8564]

I am making this right now for my Xmas party. It smells so good.

[@PBandJsandwich]

Thank you elvee, I've been using the same ingredients in the same proportions probably since before you were born. But this is the first time I cooked the rice first in water only. What a great difference. I Thank You, and my daughters thank you also.

[@ericabaysinger6343]

I put everything before then cook I even fry it a Lil w vanilla butter powdered cinnamon bay leaf cinnamon sticks and salt then I add my water evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk

[@nunuwazhere415]

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.

[@isabelencinas7641]

Didn’t realize how sweet it’d be if I followed her recipe. Still good tho!

[@pameladiez4933]

I love this dessert.i wish to make it for thanksgiving.very beautiful.

[@priscillaarchibeque3113]

My mom made this when I was growing up. She called it sweet rice. Ty for sharing.

[@mpignone1713]

I love Mexican it is my all time favorite food..my Grandmother was from Mexico and taught me a few things before she passed..her food was divine and reminds me of you!! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent!!

[@choe_87_36]

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!!

[@truth8358]

Omg! Yes! I know exactly what you mean! 😋😋😋

[@berylmarieisblessed]

Mmmmfffff caramelized rice yes pls

[@sylviadiaz5311]

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 😋

[@debbiegomez9052]

Thanks she didn’t gave that information

Thank you! I'm gonna make this regularly now🌞

[@jennabrock7472]

Finally! An Arroz con leche recipe with sweetened condensed milk! I work at a Mexican restaurant and one of our cooks makes the BEST for us and he uses sweetened condensed milk as well so im hoping to come close to his!

[@ellisantana9324]

I could not find a recipe close to my grandmas for years until I came across this video last year. It was perfect. I'm making it right now Christmas day again. Thank you for helping bring a part of my grandma to the holidays this year. Merry Christmas!!!! 🎄

[@user-ch1ux9hm9n]

Thank you for sharing your recipe.😊❤

[@truth8358]

Nice! Looks easy AND delicious

[@lindamcneil711]

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.

[@em01_]

just made this for the first time 🙏 thank you, it is DELICIOUS!! (:

[@ramirocruz8265]

A very delicious recipe. Thanks for sharing your videos girl. Blessings from Los Angeles California 😋😋🤝🏻🙏🙏🙏

[@WolfsOnPointProductions]

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

[@WintersGold94]

I’m making this tonight!

[@gracearmendariz3954]

Thanks so much tasteful and delicious

[@ruebzrandomreactionz3488]

I like adding cloves and star anise as well, hella bomb!

You are so welcome!

[@yolandadandy]

This is my go to Aroz con leche. Ive tried allot of different videos and the rice never comes out right, (idk how to make rice proper dont judge me). But this always come out perfect and taste amazing. I add clove and do extra condensed milk, no sugar. 11/10

[@MarisolRodriguez-kt1gy]

Thank you so much! I’m going to try it your way! I keep trying to make rice but mine always comes out too hard lol 😂 like I would let it simmer for so long and it still wouldn’t give me the results I wanted. Fluffy soft rice. Hopefully this time it comes out. Thank you ❤

Thank You very much for sharing this wonderful recipe. I made this for my family Christmas 2022, & they absolutely loved it! For my arroz con leche, I used Almond milk and two cans of Sweetened Condensed milk. It turned out scrum-diddly-uhmp-tious, Light, & Sweet. Once again, thank you very much for sharing, have a beautiful day!

I was definitely taken aback 😂

It looks delicious, can you please tell me how much rice and how water thanks

[@WisdomCalls]

Do you serve this only cold or do you reheat it to serve after being in the fridge over night

[@elvee_]

you can reheat it in the microwave but i do like it cold the next day 😊

[@dawndowney8084]

I have seen some use Dulce de Leche. Does that replace evaporated milk and condensed sweet milk?

I am from St. Lucia in the Caribbean.

[@emilytoscano721]

I use pilloncillo (Mexican brown sugar cube) looks delicious. Question: is it better to start the cooking rice in water or can i cook it in half water and half milk?

[@elvee_]

yes i love the flavor of piloncillo! i’m not sure how it would turn out if you did half water half milk- but def think you should try it! it’s always fun to experiment and make things your own way 😊

[@emilytoscano721]

@@elvee_ Thank you 🥰 i will use just water. If i use two cups of rice how much water do i put in the pot to boil and how much time before i put the warm milk in?

I like this with half teaspoon vanilla added

[@destinymejia8518]

[@karinapaz1111]

This came out absolutely delish but just wanted to ask if the 6 cups of water and 6 cups of milk was the right proportions? It made a BIG batch! lol Not complaining as my boyfriend will be delighted to have it all week but making sure I followed the description correctly? Thanks!

Thanks FFH or your video But I need measurements for water / rice ?? Looks good tho & I need mine to be a little more soupy! I just don’t know how to do that without ruining it 😢

hi! the full recipe is in the description box below the video. you can always add more of the whole milk to make it soupier 😊

[@pratimadas3547]

In India 🇮🇳, rice pudding is called "Payesh" (Kheer/Payasam) but we follow a different receipe. The main ingredients - rice, milk and sugar are same though ✨

So you use 6 cups of water for the rice then when its ready you add 6 cups of milk?
