Notes

Tips and tricks that will help you when making this delicious dessert:

I add condensed milk, evaporated milk and whole milk. The combination of the three different kinds of milk gives it a creamy texture. Because of this, there is no need to use butter or eggs.
It's important for the whole milk to be room temperature before adding to the mixture because if it's cold it will drop down the temperature of the whole pot.
When cooking the rice I like to start simmering the rice in water first instead of cooking the rice directly in the milk. It's important to leave it the pan uncovered at all times and cook on low heat after the mixture comes to a boiling state.
If your rice pudding has a loose consistency and that is not your preference, all you have to do is cover the pot while it’s still hot and let it rest for a few minutes.
On the contrary, if your rice pudding is too dry for your taste just add some milk and stir over low heat for a couple of minutes.
If you have leftovers save in the fridge for the next day. The texture of the Arroz con leche will be thicker. if you prefer a looser rice pudding just add milk.

How long does it last in the fridge?

Rice pudding will last up to three days in the fridge. Make sure to use an airtight container.

How to serve this dessert:

It can be served cold, however many people like to eat it warm. When I’m up for a dessert, I let it cool but when I'm up for breakfast I like to eat it warm. Both ways are just divine!
