Dulce de Leche Rice Pudding Everything improves with Dulce de Leche. It’s the magical flavor of my childhood growing up in Chile. One of my favorite snacks was a Dulce de Leche sandwich. We have them so frequently it is genuinely the PB & Jelly equivalent. This Dulce de Leche Rice Pudding proves this idea right again. Creamy and with an unparalleled sweetness and richness, it’s a genuinely comforting dessert. You can enjoy it warm in winter and cold during the summer.

  3. Add the cooked rice and continue to cook over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently.

  4. Be careful. When the milk reaches the boiling state, it produces a lot of foam. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
  5. Wait until you reach the desired thickness. In my case, it took 24 minutes. Add the butter and turn off the heat.

  6. Remember: it will thicken when cold!
  7. Serve cold or warm with chocolate sprinkles, raisins, or just by itself.

    I might need a NEW favorite dish after seeing what you made! YUM!! Currently, my favorite dish with rice is cheesy rice with BBQ chicken! 🙂 But I also love just a big bowl of rice with some sale & butter 🙂

    Let me first say that your dish looks amazing! Until I saw your recipe my favorite rice dish was shrimp stir-fry with a bit of heat. My wife doesn’t like hers hot so I just add the peppers and Sriracha to my bowl.
    As a runner I always crave carbohydrates and rice has always been near the top of my list of choices. I may have to start incorporating it into my nightly snack time!
