Arroz en leche can be a dessert, or served for breakfast. It is a combination of rice, water, condense milk, evaporated milk, and cinnamon. This version of arroz en leche is simple to put together, yet soft and delicious.
My mom used to serve this for breakfast, her version included fresh cow milk, and sugar instead of sweetened condensed milk which I also love to make. If served as breakfast, serve hot when the milk it’s still liquid and feels more like you are eating rice cereal.
When we had leftover, we would put it in the fridge to eat as dessert after lunch. By this time, the rice gets more puffed up, and the milk has been absorbed. You can just make a big batch to try it both ways.
