Ingredients
  

  • 150 grams white rice
  • 600 ml whole milk
  • 100 grams condensed milk
  • 150 grams heavy cream
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • cinnamon powder, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add the rice, whole milk, and cinnamon sticks to a pot and heat until it comes to a boil
  • Turn the heat down to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the type of rice) until it is nice and soft. Stir regularly to keep it from sticking. If you don't use a lid, keep in mind that the milk will form a skin on top, which you should remove before stirring
  • Turn off the stove and add the heavy cream and condensed milk. Mix well, taste the sweetness of the rice pudding, and add more condensed milk if you feel it's necessary
  • Let the rice pudding cool down to room temperature; you will notice that it takes on a thicker consistency as it cools. Serve it in small cups and decorate with ground cinnamon on top before enjoying.
