      Hola, yo soy colombiana y vivo en Bogotá, mi familia es de Medellín también. Ayer buscando una receta de arroz con leche descubrí tu página, y debo decirte que aunque no me gusta mucho cocinar, ví unas recetas que se ven tan ricas que me dan ganas de cocinar, así que seguramente preparare algunas. Mi mamá obviamente sabe hacer el arroz con leche tradicional, pero yo quería buscar uno diferente, y encontré que tienes algunas variaciones, pero quería hacerte una pregunta que es la leche evaporada? (le pregunte a una tía de Medellín que esta visitándonos y que vivió en Miami y me dice que la venden en EU, que no sabe si acá la venden) y quería saber en esta receta se puede reemplazar por otro ingrediente o por más leche o leche en polvo no se. Muchas gracias.

        Puedes utilizar leche Klim y queda delicioso, pero yo creo que puedes encontrar leche evaporada en lata en supermercados en Colombia .

      Hola muchas gracias Erica, voy a buscarla en donde vendan importados, otra tia lo hace solo con leche klim y no me gusto tanto, pero por ahora voy a probarlo sin la leche evaporada y solo con los otros ingredientes. Gracias 😉

      Hi, unfortunately mine came out very liquidy with the rice at the bottom. The rice was cooked : ). I can't for the life of me determine what I did incorrectly. Any thoughts?

      I love the recipe. It suits my estaduidense sweet tooth just fine. My Colombiana wife thought it was too sweet. I’ll try again without adding the sugar, reducing the milk by a cup, and doubling the sweetened condesed milk. Thanks for all the recipes!
