Arroz con leche

I also made arroz con leche with my cooking class. It is a very popular Hispanic dessert that is enjoyed in most of the Spanish-speaking countries. This is the first time I've made this dish and I'm quite proud with how it turned out. The kids thought it was delicious too. There is also a popular children's song in Spanish about this delicious dish. Check that out here. (Yes the video is a little weird but the pictures help explain the lyrics if you don't understand the Spanish.)

 Step 1: Let 1 cup rice soak in 4 cups of water with ground cinnamon and ground cloves. It should soak for at least 1 hour.

 Step 2: Bring rice mixture to a boil. Let it boil for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: While mixture is boiling, beat one egg in a bowl. Add one can sweetened condensed milk and one can evaporated milk. After 10-12 minutes, add the milk mixture and turn the heat down to medium. Continue at a soft boil, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.

Step 4: Spoon into a bowl (or put in the fridge if you want to eat it cold). Top with dried fruit and cinnamon.

Step 5: Enjoy! This is a pretty rich dessert so you don't need a lot but it is delicious.
