    Lime Rice PuddingPin

    Arroz con Leche or Rice pudding was one of my grandmother specialties for as long as I can remember, and from what I understand, something she had been making since my mom was a little girl. It’s a very simple dessert with simple ingredients, but it’s one of those feel-good dishes that comforts you when you see it on the table. It really shows that food doesn’t always have to be fancy, but it should make people feel happy.

    Rice pudding is more than a just a dessert for me. Each time I put a pot of Arroz con Leche on the stove, the aroma alone brings back happy memories of my grandmother. I shared my traditional recipe here, I am always looking for new ways and flavors to make it.

    I’ve eaten it warm, at room temperature and chilled, and I enjoyed each one, and don’t really have a favorite. It has a creamier consistency when warm, and then firms up a bit as it cools, so go with whatever your personal preference is!

    Buen provecho!

      Would the lime juice cause the milk to curd?
