This is a common dessert of Bengal,India.It's served during any auspicious occasion.It's called "Payesh" or Rice Pudding.Instead of cinnamon,Cardamom powder and Raisins are added.During winter when the molasses is available made from juices of Date-Palm trees,it's used with sugar for sweetness.It enhances the taste and colour of the Rice pudding.

It is a common dessert in Brazil too. Here is called "arroz doce" or sweet rice. It's very delicious. Here lemon isn't used, but I think that it is a good idea.

I agree that many countries have this delicious dessert; i guess it was easy to discover:)
In Turkey we have two kind of Rice and milk( called SÜTLAÇ); one of them is like Mencu's recipe which is called plain SÜTLAÇ and other one definitely more delicious, called SÜTLAÇ in oven..while cooking rice and milk put a scrambled egg and mix altogether..when it's done divide into some flameproof deep plates and put them oven until their surfaces get a little burned..
yumiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii:))

In the Czech Republic we call it "Rýžová kaše" and mostly children love it. We serve it with fresh or preserved fruit of jam, cocoa powder or chocolate as well. Yummy!

But in august I bought in Lyon (France) a powder called "riz au lait des amants" that is a kind of rice and milk with ginger and mint... very good.

That's a very popular and delicious dessert from Peru, to be more exact. Here it is known as Arroz con leche and it's very well-known in Lima. Of course the right translation is Rice with milk, but from the ingredients, it is definitely our Peruvian dessert.

Hello everybody.
This is a delicious Spanish recipe. However, it is an international dessert.
I recommend adding the sugar in a different order. Menchu said to add the sugar in step 5. However I usually add the sugar when the milk is hot and before it starts to boil, between step 1 and 2. Add the sugar and stir it with a spoon.
This is better because the milk absorbs the sugar and when you add the rice it is sweeter.
I hope you enjoy, it is an excellent dessert. It reminds me of my childhood.

I really like it. In Colombia we have a similar dessert and when you serve you can add some parmessan chesse. It is really delicious. Sometimes, people add rassins or chopped coconut.

It sounds like a new dessert to me. Putting cinnamon and sugar!
quite much of sugar, isn't it? Brown sugar would be much heathier, I guess :) I should try this dessert. Thanks for your recipe.

Of course I've tried it. I don't know how many times but from my early childhood I've eaten rice with milk very often. My mum used to cook it as a dessert for me and my sisters every Sunday. My granmothers also cooked it and my mother in laws rice with milk is excellent and my son now loves in it ( he's two and a half years old)
In Spain it is most typical of Asturias where every traditional food restaurant has it in their menus and tourists from other parts of Spain love it.
There's a new version of it which is rice with chocolate milk and it's great too but I prefer the traditional dessert because I love the cinamon taste.
My wife also cooks a delicious rice with milk
Cheers from Asturias!!
