Empanadas de Arroz con Leche (Rice Pudding Empanadas)

My Mamita was more of a “cooking grandmother” than a “baking grandmother”, so many of my memories surrounding her food revolve around salty dishes, not so much desserts. She did have a list of very traditional Colombian sweets in her repertoire that she would make, but her focal point was always the main meal.

Empanadas de Arroz con Leche (Rice Pudding Empanadas)

Mamita’s Arroz con Leche was one of our favorite desserts and she made it for us once a week. Thankfully, I learned how to make it with her and wrote down her recipe before she died, which in itself is a gift from her every time I make it. Creamy, sweet and rich it instantly takes me right back to her warm and very inviting home.

Empanadas de Arroz con Leche (Rice Pudding Empanadas)

These Empanadas de Arroz con Leche (Rice Pudding Empanadas) are very popular in Colombia and my grandmother made them with her leftover rice pudding. Empanadas and Arroz con Leche! Two popular Latin dishes together in one dish! You have to admit, it doesn’t get much better than that. The warm and flaky dough, the sweet and creamy rice pudding filling is a delight in the mouth. I made a double batch with the hope to keep some in the freezer for later, but it didn’t last!

Buen provecho!

    I don’t know what I would have to do to have “leftover” rice pudding – those words just don’t go together! But I’ll try – this sounds heavenly and so wonderful for you that strong memories are linked to it. We should all have those kinds of memories.
