Ingredients

• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 2 cups Water
• 2 cups Coconut milk
• 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon for garnish
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, add the rice, cinnamon stick, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Remove the lid, discard the cinnamon stick, and add coconut milk, almond milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt to the rice.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and stir frequently to ensure the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan as it begins to thicken.

Step 6

Once it starts to thicken, lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rice is very tender and the mixture is creamy.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 8

Spoon the Arroz Con Leche into individual serving dishes.

Step 9

Sprinkle with ground cinnamon for garnish before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or chilled as desired.
