Creamy Rice Pudding Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup of rice (short grain or round type, ideal for desserts)

1 liter of whole milk

1 can of condensed milk (approx. 397 g)

1 cinnamon stick

1 piece of lemon peel (without the white part)

1 pinch of salt

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)

1/2 cup of sugar (adjust to taste)

Ground cinnamon (for sprinkling at the end)

Instructions:

Wash the rice:
Wash the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

To cook the rice:
In a large pot, add the rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until the water has almost completely evaporated.

Add the milk:
Add the liter of milk, the cinnamon stick, and the lemon peel. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

Add the condensed milk:
When the mixture is hot (but not boiling yet), add the condensed milk and mix well.

Slow cook:
Cook over low heat for about 30–40 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is very tender and the mixture has thickened. If it is too thick, you can add a little more milk.

Sweeten and flavor:
Add sugar (to taste) and vanilla, mix and cook for 5 more minutes.

Let it rest:
Remove from heat, take out the cinnamon and lemon peel. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serving:
Serve hot or cold, sprinkled with ground cinnamon.

Tips for extra creamy:
Stir constantly during cooking.

Use whole milk for better texture.

Adding a splash of cream at the end (optional) gives it an even creamier touch.
