Arroz con leche is a comforting staple across Costa Rica, often one of the first desserts children learn to help make at home.
A creamy, cinnamon-scented Costa Rican rice pudding, simmered slowly in milk until thick and comforting — a simple, beloved dessert found in home kitchens across the country.
Simmer rice briefly in water for 5 minutes, then drain.
Combine rice with milk, sugar, cinnamon stick and zest in a pot.
Simmer gently over low heat, stirring often, for 30-35 minutes until thick and creamy.
Remove the cinnamon stick and zest, spoon into bowls, and dust with ground cinnamon.
Stir frequently throughout cooking — the rice can catch and stick to the bottom of the pan if left unattended.
