Arroz Doce Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the rice

   Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

2. 2

   Cook the rice

   In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, milk, sugar, salt, and the cinnamon stick. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened.

4. 4

   Add flavor

   Remove the cinnamon stick. If desired, whisk in the egg for extra creaminess, and add the vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.

5. 5

   Cool and serve

   Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled, sprinkled with ground cinnamon on top.
