Arroz Con Dulce

Ingredients

• 1 cups Medium Grain Rice
• 4 cups Water
• 1 pcs Cinnamon Stick
• 4 pcs Whole Cloves
• 6 pcs Fresh Ginger
• 1 cups Coconut Milk
• 8 tbsp Evaporated Milk
• 8 tbsp Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 5.28 tbsp Golden Raisins
• 0.375 tsp Kosher Salt
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 0.5 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Method

1. Rinse {medium_grain_rice} under cold water until the water runs mostly clear, then soak it in {water} so the grains hydrate and cook creamy without breaking.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh {water}, {cinnamon_stick}, {whole_cloves}, and {fresh_ginger}; bring to a gentle simmer, then steep until fragrant and lightly amber.
3. Drain the soaked {medium_grain_rice}. Strain the spiced liquid into a heavy saucepan, add the drained {medium_grain_rice} and {kosher_salt}, and simmer over low heat until the grains are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
4. Stir in {coconut_milk}, {evaporated_milk}, {sweetened_condensed_milk}, {golden_raisins}, and {vanilla_extract} over low heat. Cook gently, stirring often, until glossy, thick, and creamy; taste and adjust with a pinch more {kosher_salt} if needed.
5. Let the {medium_grain_rice} pudding rest off the heat until slightly thickened, then spoon into bowls and finish with {ground_cinnamon} for a warm aromatic lift.
