Arroz Doce
Arroz doce is traditionally decorated with cinnamon patterns, often in the shape of initials or symbols, especially at weddings.
A silky Portuguese rice pudding, gently spiced with cinnamon and lemon zest — a beloved dessert served at nearly every Portuguese celebration.
Ingredients
Method
Boil rice briefly in water, then drain.
Simmer rice with milk, sugar, lemon zest and cinnamon sticks over low heat, stirring often, for about 25 minutes until thick and creamy.
Temper egg yolks with a little of the hot rice mixture, then stir back into the pot and cook gently for a few more minutes.
Pour into bowls and dust generously with ground cinnamon to decorate.
Tempering the egg yolks slowly prevents them scrambling when added to the hot rice mixture.
