ARROZ CON DULCE (PUERTO RICAN RICE PUDDING)

Steps:

• Place the rice in a medium-sized mixing bowl and cover with cool water, leaving about 2 inches of excess water over the rice. Set aside for an hour to soak.
• Add the 4 cups water to a saucepan with ginger, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and salt then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes then remove from heat and allow to steep while your rice finishes soaking.
• Once your rice is fully soaked, drain off water and rinse under cool tap water.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the ginger and whole spices from the boiled water. Add coconut milk and heat to a boil.
• When the water reaches a boil, stir in the drained rice, light brown sugar, raisins, and coconut then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to your pan.
• Transfer the cooked rice into your 9x13 baking pan and spread in an even layer for quick cooling. Once cooled to room temperature, finish chilling in the refrigerator.
• Serve cold, topped with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
