As rice is a global kitchen staple, it’s no surprise that this pudding has variations worldwide. After all, this dessert simply calls for water, milk, sugar and rice – the natural starches from the white rice provide that velvety texture.
Rice pudding – and all the tasty variations – will always hit the spot. The Latin American version, Arroz con Leche, has a hint of zesty lime and a sprinkle of cinnamon. If you’re looking for a way to enjoy both a creamy and crunchy pastry, consider stuffing Empanadas with Rice Pudding. If you don’t have space on the stovetop and don’t have a Thermomix®, you could also make this dessert with an Instant Pot or over the stove. Simply stir in all the ingredients and press the “Porridge” function.
