    I absolutely love this creamy dessert and I am always making different variations of my classic recipe.

    My grandmother, my aunts and my mother each have their own recipe and each one is a little different. My grandmother, for example, used to add diced white cheese, butter and powdered milk to hers. One of my aunts added evaporated milk and heavy cream to her recipe.

    However, the one that stood out every time, was my grandmother's. It was a dreamy rice pudding, creamy, with a perfect balance of flavors.

    Today I want to share another arroz con leche variation I made the other day using one of my favorite ingredients, Arequipe, or Dulce de Leche. It was sweet, creamy and delicious!

    Buen provecho!

      Rice pudding is a favorite with my family, too, and especially when it's as creamy as yours. Topped with the sauce, I'd say fantastic.
