Best Tres Leches Rice Pudding Recipes
TRES LECHES RICE PUDDING
My list of rice pudding loves is long. There's the Danish risalamande, with chopped almonds, whipped cream, and a sour cherry sauce, usually served at Christmas with a prize inside- one that I never win, not that I've been trying for thirteen years at my best friend's house or anything. There's kheer, with cardamom, cashews or pistachios, and saffron. There's rice pudding the way our grandmothers made it, baked for what feels like an eternity, with milk, eggs, and sugar. And there's arroz con leche, which is kind of like your Kozy Shack went down to Costa Rica for a lazy weekend and came back enviously tan, sultry, and smelling of sandy shores. As you can tell, I really like arroz con leche. But this- a riff on one of the best variants of arroz con leche I've made, which, in its original incarnation on my site, I adapted from Ingrid Hoffmann's wonderful recipe- is my favorite, for two reasons: First, it knows me. (That's the funny thing about the recipes I create!) It knows how preposterously bad I am at keeping stuff in stock in my kitchen, like milk, but that I seem always to have an unmoved collection of canned items and grains. Second, it's so creamy that it's like a pudding stirred into another pudding. The rice is cooked first in water. I prefer to start my rice pudding recipes like this, because I'm convinced that cooking the rice first in milk takes twice as long and doesn't get the pudding half as creamy. Also, it gives me a use for those cartons of white rice left over from the Chinese take- out I only occasionally (cough) succumb to. Then you basically cook another pudding on top of it, with one egg and three milks- coconut, evaporated, and sweetened condensed- and the end result will be the richest and most luxurious rice pudding imaginable. But why stop there? For the times when the word "Enough!" has escaped your vocabulary, I recommend topping it with a dollop of cinnamon- dusted whipped cream, for the icing on the proverbial cake.

Steps:
- Cook the rice: Put the rice, 2 cups of water, and the salt in a medium saucepan with a tight- fitting lid. Bring to a boil- you should hear the pot going all a flutter under the lid and puffing steam out the seam. Reduce to a low simmer, and let the rice cook for 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Remove the rice pot from the heat.
- Once the rice is cooked, whisk the egg in a medium bowl, and then whisk in the evaporated milk. Stir the coconut and sweetened condensed milks into the rice, then add the egg mixture. Return the saucepan to heat and cook the mixture over medium- low heat until it looks mostly, or about 90 percent, absorbed (the pudding will thicken a lot as it cools), about 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract, then divide the pudding among serving dishes. Keep the puddings in the fridge until fully chilled, about 1 to 2 hours.
- To serve: Whip the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Dollop a spoonful of whipped cream on top of each bowl of rice pudding, dust with ground cinnamon, then enjoy.
TRES LECHES RICE PUDDING
Yield - 4 quarts Prep time 30 minutes Cooking time 30 minutes You will need to have the skill of multi-burner task-master to keep to the cooking time frame. Start the water boiling while you wash and soak the rice, and currants. You need two pots, a 6 quart, and a 4 quart. I used a very heavy 1960 Presto 6qt pressure cooker as my rice pot with a vented splatter shield for the vented lid because none of my newer pots were heavy enough for this quantity of rice. I have a nonstick 4 qt pot that I used for the milk. A heavy wooden spoon or heavy wooden spatula to fold the milk into the rice is also helpful. If you don't like currants, leave them and even leave the cinnamon out too. However, I strongly suggest keeping the cardamom. I spice and clarify my own butter three or four pounds at a time to stock my kitchen with because the seasoning in store bought Ghee is just too heavy. If you don't have clarified butter and use regular butter or store bought Ghee in this recipe you are on your own and the taste will be off. Clarifying butter is easy - stick a block of butter in a Pyrex pan in a 200 degree oven for ½ an hour. Skim off the crust, add spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, etc. strain using cheese cloth and a common strainer into a jar and refrigerate. Be sure to not have any water in the clarified butter or it will mold and turn black. I put the clarified butter in glass for long term and will leave one out overnight to get to room temp to portion out 4ozs at a time in a small plastic container for the week and leave it in the cupboard. I usually have ready-to-go soft clarified butter for sautéing onions or other GP.

Steps:
- Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and thoroughly rinse under cool water for about 5 minutes, or until the water runs clear. Let the rice sit in the strainer for 3-5 minutes to dry slightly.
- Transfer the rice to a 4-quart pot. Add the sugar and stir to coat the rice, then add the whole milk, salt, and ¾ cup (180 ml) coconut milk.
- Use a paring knife to split the vanilla bean pod in half lengthwise, then scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds and scraped pod to the pot with the rice.
- Cook the rice mixture over medium heat, stirring to scrape the bottom and sides of the pot often to prevent sticking or burning, until al dente, about 25 minutes. Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue cooking until tender, but not mushy, about 10 minutes more.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in ¼ cup coconut milk and the butter until fully incorporated.
- If serving the pudding warm, cover the pot until ready to serve. Otherwise, transfer the rice pudding to a small glass baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Meanwhile, make the toasted cinnamon: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the cinnamon sticks on the prepared baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until dark brown and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
- Transfer the cinnamon sticks to a spice grinder or blender and grind into a fine powder. Transfer the ground toasted cinnamon to a small jar or airtight container and keep at room temperature in a cool dry place for up to 1 month.
- Make the citrus-infused raisins: Add the raisins, orange peel, cinnamon stick, cloves, and hot water to a 4-cup heatproof bowl and let steep for at least 20 minutes, up to overnight.
- Toast the coconut: Spread the coconut in a single layer on a small rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, 7-10 minutes.
- When ready to serve, transfer the pudding to a large bowl if not still in the pot (remove and discard the vanilla bean pod). Stir in the remaining ½ cup coconut milk until just incorporated, adding more as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Divide the pudding between serving bowls or glasses. Place a teaspoon of the ground cinnamon in a fine-mesh sieve and dust evenly over the pudding. Sprinkle the toasted coconut and citrus-infused raisins on top and a drizzle with sweetened condensed milk.
- Enjoy!
