Arroz Con Leche (Rice Pudding)

Because I am lactose intolerant, I usually would never eat Rice Pudding. However, I love this recipe because it does not taste too milky if that makes sense. It's a favorite during the Holidays or anytime you want to make good use of leftover white rice. A great comfort dessert following any meal. 

Arroz Con Leche (Rice Pudding)

(Serves 4)

2 cups cooked white rice 

2 medium lemon peels

2 cinnamon sticks

3 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar

DIRECTIONS:

1)  Add everything in a medium pot and bring to a boil. I love my Le Creuset pots - a true investment!

2) Turn the heat down to medium and reduce the milk to half until the mixture gets thick (about 20 minutes).

3) Pour into a plate, sprinkle with cinnamon and chill. 

4) Serve in little dessert dishes - your children will love it (remember to discard the lemon peel and cinnamon sticks prior to serving)....¡buen provecho!

I think the smell of milk is making Chalupa sleepy!!
