Arroz con leche is one of my favorite desserts . It reminds me of my childhood and I like it because it’s easy to make and I usually have all the ingredients I need to make it in my pantry. Now that I live in the United States I like giving my Arroz con Leche an American touch. Thanksgiving is almost here and fall flavors inspired me to experiment to find the ideal Arroz con Leche recipe for our Thanksgiving dinner. I am sharing with you my adventures in the kitchen using different ingredients to achive this mission.
