minutesArroz con leche, “rice with milk,” is a big bowl of decadence made by simmering rice in milk and sugar until it becomes creamy and tender. Traditionally flavored with cinnamon, we bring in our year-round favorite Pumpkin Pie Spice for a nice, warm punch of spice. Raisins are traditional, too. (Hang in there anti-raisin friends…they’re optional! ) Raisins or not, Arroz con leche is a delightful, nostalgic treat that’s pure comfort.
