When I lived in Miami decades ago, I came to love the food. One of my favorites is Arroz Con Leche (or Rice Pudding). It is creamy and delicious.
After realizing I was only getting to partake of this treat if Abuelita was making it, I took matters into my own hands and asked for the recipe.

I was young and had buckets full of rice and the hours it took standing in front of the hot stove had me rethinking my love affair with rice pudding.
Things have changed and now I make Arroz con Leche in the Instant Pot. It takes about 35 minutes and is really easy yielding the delicious creamy texture I have come to love.
Depending on what country you’re feasting upon Rice Pudding in, seems to determine the toppings or additions. Some like their’s with butter, dates, jam, nuts, maple syrup. The Spanish use raisins, cinnamon, coconut, and orange zest.
Add more sugar, or less sugar. Experiment with different liquids…milk: coconut, almond, whole, skim, or try tea for a different taste. Check out this recipe using Earl Grey Tea: Earl Grey Amira Rice Pudding with Wine, Lemon and Vanilla Nectarines Recipe.
