    Why we ❤️ it

    If you have been around for a while, you have probably noticed how our cooking changes as summer approaches, we post fewer recipes of soups, fewer dishes that require long cooking, simpler, more refreshing recipes, and we go crazy with paletas.

    May I interest you in an Arroz con Leche Paletas (Frozen Rice Pudding Popsicles)?

    You may think that I am a bit obsessed with paletas (popsicles), and you'd be wrong, I am very obsessed with them, and already have a long list of ideas that I'll be posting this summer.

    • Arroz con Leche Paletas (Rice Pudding Popsicles)

    I am in a quest to turn many foods I love into popsicles, so I can enjoy them even more in our hot summers.

    About our recipe

    We Dominicans love our Arroz con Leche (Rice Pudding), we can have it for breakfast, dessert and dinner. Literally. And while you may be a bit doubtful about the idea of turning it into a frozen rice pudding dessert, trust me, it works.

    The rice, cooked softer and more liquidy than your typical rice pudding, lends a creaminess to the popsicles that I loved. If you have an ice-cream machine, get adventurous, make this into ice cream instead of paletas.

    Of course, my opinion has to be confirmed by my crack team of testers (my daughter and her friends), and trust me, they are not easy to please. And pleased they were.

    They loved it! I did too.

    Buen provecho!

    Ingredients

    • ¼ cup rice, uncooked, [50 g] (see notes)
    • 8 cup water, [1.9 l]
    • ½ teaspoon salt, [0.71 l]
    • 3 cup evaporated milk, [0.71 l]
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, [15 ml]
    • 1 cup sugar (white, granulated), [200 g]
    • ¼ cup of golden raisins, (sultanas) [40 g]

    Instructions
     

    • Cook rice: Pour the water, rice, and salt into a medium (1 gal [4 lt]) iron o cast aluminum pot.
      Cook over medium-low temperature and stir regularly to avoid sticking. When the rice is very soft (about 20 mins) add milk, vanilla, and sugar. When it breaks a boil again add the raisins. Cook until the mixture has reduced to a third of the original volume.
    • Cool rice: Cool to room temperature. Stir to incorporate the crust that forms during cooling.
    • Freeze: Pour into the popsicle molds and freeze.

    Is there a way to make this non-dairy? What is a good replacement for evaporated milk?

    I cheated, bought Kerns Horchata, made rice in water with 1tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon let cool, mixed to my liking and threw into molds. When I can't find things, I make my own. 😉

    I have never been a huge fan of rice pudding, only due to the texture. I think the flavor is great and having it in the form of a popsicle would be a great way to try it out and sway my tastebuds a little!
