A creamy and comforting Pumpkin Arroz Con Leche recipe that combines traditional rice pudding with the warm flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and cloves. Perfectly sweetened with condensed milk and studded with raisins, this chilled dessert is a festive treat ideal for fall or any time you’re craving a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Rice Mixture

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 3 cloves

Pudding Mixture

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 (12-ounce) container evaporated milk
  • 1 (14-ounce) container sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 2 cups milk

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Pot: In a large pot, combine the white rice, water, cinnamon sticks, and cloves.
  2. Bring to Boil: Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook Rice: Continue cooking for about 18 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Drain Liquid: Drain any remaining liquid from the rice using a fine sieve or colander.
  5. Remove Spices: Remove the cinnamon sticks and cloves from the cooked rice mixture.
  6. Return Rice to Pot: Place the drained rice back into the pot for the next step.
  7. Add Dairy and Pumpkin: Add the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, raisins, and milk to the pot with the rice.
  8. Mix Ingredients: Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients evenly. The pumpkin puree may create some lumps.
  9. Smooth Mixture: Use a spoon to break up any large pumpkin lumps for a smoother consistency.
  10. Simmer: Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  11. Remove from Heat: Immediately turn off the heat once simmering begins to prevent the pudding from burning.
  12. Stir Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well to blend flavors and ensure even texture.
  13. Cool Down: Allow the pudding to cool completely before transferring it to the refrigerator.
  14. Chill: Place the pot or transfer pudding into serving containers and refrigerate until chilled.
  15. Serve: Serve the Pumpkin Arroz Con Leche cold as a delicious dessert.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for creamier pudding or substitute with a milk alternative if desired.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sweetened condensed milk.
  • Make sure to stir frequently during simmering to avoid burning at the bottom.
  • For additional texture, top with toasted nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
