This was delicious! I followed the submitter's suggestion for thicker pudding so I used 3 eggs and 1 1/4 c rice. I was a little nervous that it still wasn't going to be thick or cook enough but the last 10-15 minutes it thickens quite a bit. Plus the egg thickens it as well. I added vanilla and sprinkled cinnamon on top when served. Mmm mmmm.

I found this to be very sweet so I added lemon peels to the boiling water and squeezed some lemon juice in the milk. Turned out great.

being portuguese raised american and knowing nothing of my culture this was a treat that i needed. this is so good ill probably make more once this is gone. but i would suggest a couple of things. i didnt rinse my rice so the starch would help the texture and it did. and next time ill cook it longer kuz my rice didnt cook all the way. and ill add more rice and egg. whats the point to having pudding if it isnt thick? and i added vanilla too kuz so many people added it how could i not put it in. and it didnt taste like egg like some people had problems with. but very good!!!

My mom always added lemon rind to her arroz doce so I added the rind from one lemon to this recipe. Cut, not grated. Remove the rind before placing the rice into the serving dishes. Bellisimo!

My mom use to make this but she never added vanilla. if you add lemon peels, it takes away the strong taste of the egg.

This was SOOO tasty and will also made more often. I tweeked it a little to make it a bit lighter. I put 1/3 of the amount of sugar listed and only used the egg whites instead of the whole egg... still came out so sweet! Also put a spin on it and added strawberries! YUMMY!

A lovely basic rice pudding! Cook it slowly so the rice soaks up a lot of milk. I tried it with jasmine rice, added a tad of vanilla extract and cinnamon on top. Be patient with the cooking and you'll be rewarded!
