Peruvian Arroz con Leche Rice Pudding
Peruvian Arroz con Leche is a velvety, comforting dessert that balances the richness of Arborio rice with the warmth of cinnamon and a touch of sweetness. Slow-simmered in milk until luxuriously creamy, it’s studded with tender rice and just enough vanilla to round out the flavors. A scattering of raisins adds a subtle chew, while a final dusting of cinnamon lends an aromatic finish. Whether served warm or chilled, this timeless treat delivers a taste of Lima’s cozy kitchens with every spoonful.
