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.

Dulce de Leche Rice Pudding
A delicious twist on the beloved rice pudding.
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 8
Ingredients
Units
- 1 cup of water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 cup white rice (you can use quick ones)
- 4 cups 2% milk
- 1 can (380 grams or 13.4 oz.) of Dulce de Leche (available in Latino markets or the International aisle)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt
Instructions
- Cook the rice following the instructions on the box, use a cinnamon stick in the cooking water and a pinch of salt.
- Place the milk and Dulce de Leche in a saucepan and heat over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the Dulce de Leche.
- Add the cooked rice and continue to cook over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Be careful. When the milk reaches the boiling state, it produces a lot of foam. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Wait until you reach the desired thickness. In my case, it took 24 minutes. Add the butter and turn off the heat.
- Remember: it will thicken when cold!
- Serve cold or warm with chocolate sprinkles, raisins, or just by itself.
