arroz con leche
Sweet milk rice
Arroz con leche is a sweet rice pudding made by cooking rice in milk with sugar and cinnamon, popular throughout Latin America and Spain.
The dish varies by region—some versions include condensed milk, raisins, or citrus zest.
It's typically served cold or at room temperature as a dessert or comfort food: My grandmother's arroz con leche was the best.
