Arroz Doce, or Portuguese sweet rice, is a traditional dessert originating from Portugal, enjoyed for its creamy texture and comforting flavor. Made with rice, milk, sugar, eggs, and cinnamon, this dish is often flavored with lemon peel for a hint of citrus. The ingredients are gently simmered until the rice becomes tender and infused with sweetness, then topped with cinnamon for a fragrant finish. While Arroz Doce is calorie-dense due to its sugar and milk content, it provides some protein and calcium from the dairy and eggs. However, its high sugar content can make it less suitable for those needing to monitor their intake. Rich in cultural heritage, this dessert is typically served during celebrations and holidays, making it a symbolic dish of tradition and warmth within Portuguese cuisine. Enjoyed in moderation, it remains a delightful indulgence that connects its eaters to a rich culinary history.
