One dessert that I particularly love to make is Mamita’s Rice Pudding. It is simple, tasty, creamy and easy to make, yet always delivers. I had some tangerines at home a couple of weeks ago and was craving something sweet, so I made this tangerine flavored rice pudding and we absolutely loved it. My husband said that this was the best rice pudding he ever had!
It ended up being a great alternative to my traditional rice pudding recipe.
Buen provecho!

I think that tangerines are one of my all time favorites. I guess the easy peeling when I was a child.
Great recipe!

Wow I had to try this, I love tradicional Arroz con Leche, but this is great… just happen to be in Asia this time of year mandarins are plentiful and are given away as good luck wishes for the incoming year. Loved this variation.

What type of rice was used for this? I only have sushi rice at home but that will finish cooking long before the step of adding the vanilla and condensed milk.
