Creamy Traditional Rice Pudding (Arroz doce cremoso)

Ingredients

1 cup rice
1.5 liters cold water
1 strip lemon zest
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Ground cinnamon for dusting

Where to find ingredients

You can find these staples at local supermarkets or independent grocers in Lesotho. Look for long-grain white rice in the grain aisle, and find condensed milk in the long-life dairy section. Fresh lemons are readily available in the produce department; use a vegetable peeler to remove only the yellow zest.

Preparation method

  1. Combine the rice, water, and lemon zest in a large heavy-bottomed pot.
  2. Place the pot over high heat and bring the liquid to a boil.
  3. Turn the heat down to low and simmer until the rice is tender and most of the water has evaporated.
  4. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the pot with the cooked rice.
  5. Stir everything thoroughly to ensure the mixture is well combined.
  6. Remove from the heat as soon as the pudding reaches a creamy, uniform consistency.
  7. Finish by dusting with ground cinnamon to taste before serving.

Observations

Arroz doce is a beloved staple of Brazilian home cooking, cherished for its luxuriously smooth texture and comforting, sweet profile. It is a straightforward recipe relying on pantry staples, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking for a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing dessert that feels like home.
