Mazamorra Morada

Arroz con Leche

Method

Mazamorra Morada

  1. 1

    Prepare the Purple Corn

    In a large pot, combine the purple corn and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Add the pineapple peel, cinnamon stick, and cloves to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  3. 3

    Strain the Liquid

    After simmering, strain the liquid into a bowl, discarding the solids, and return the liquid to the pot.

  4. 4

    Thicken with Cornstarch

    In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 cup of water until dissolved. Gradually add this mixture to the pot while stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat until it thickens, about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Sugar and Fruits

    Stir in the sugar, dried fruits, and lime juice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.

Arroz con Leche

  1. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, combine the rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Milk and Flavorings

    Once the rice is cooked, add the milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. 8

    Simmer the Mixture

    Let the mixture simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
