As an American who typically loves ethnic foods, I was not a big fan of this. I like creamy rice pudding, but I think the condensed milk in this recipe didn't go well with the rice. Two of my family members and a close friend also tried it and didn't like it.

I thought this was really good, though I next time I will used more condensed milk for a creamier, sweeter pudding. I am Cuban and grew up on incredible arroz con leche and this is the closest I have found.

Excellent, authentic-tasting recipe. Reminded me of arroz con leche I've eaten in Peru. I couldn't really taste the lime, however, so I added some fresh lime juice to the finished product. I couldn't find star anise in the store, but I didn't find that using a cinnamon stick added more flavor than using ground cinnamon. Next time I'll use ground spices to save time without compromising flavor.

Mmmm... Que RICO!!! This rice pudding was creamy, delicious, and simple. I omitted the lemon and anise because I didn't have any. I also swapped evaporated milk for regular milk and it still turned out great. Yummy!!

EXCELLENT! Just like my grandmother use to make. I am also Cuban, and I have been searching for an "Arroz con Leche" recipe like this one for a very long time. A++
