Arroz Doce
A classic Portuguese rice pudding, Arroz Doce, is a comforting and festive dessert. It's traditionally decorated with a beautiful cinnamon pattern, making it a popular choice for celebrations and holidays.
🧂 Zutaten
- 200 g Arborio or medium-grain rice
- 1 L Whole milk
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 4 Egg yolks
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 strip Lemon peel
- 500 ml Water
👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the pudding from becoming gummy.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 500ml of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is mostly absorbed and the rice is tender.
⏱️ 17 minutes - 3
Pour in the milk and add the strip of lemon peel (if using) and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring often, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon.
⏱️ 25 minutes - 5
While the pudding is cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the granulated sugar until pale and slightly fluffy. This tempering process prevents the yolks from scrambling when added to the hot pudding.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Gradually ladle about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk and sugar mixture, whisking constantly. This further tempers the yolks.

Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the pudding, whisking continuously. Return the saucepan to very low heat and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding is heated through and slightly thicker. Do not boil.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 8
Remove the lemon peel (if used). Pour the Arroz Doce into individual serving bowls or a single larger serving dish. Let it cool slightly at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 9
Once slightly cooled, sprinkle generously with ground cinnamon. Use a toothpick or the tip of a spoon to create traditional decorative patterns, such as swirls, lines, or even a simple star. Serve warm or chilled.

- Add a strip of lemon or orange zest to the milk while it simmers for a citrusy note.
- For an egg-free version, omit the egg yolks. The pudding will be slightly less rich but still delicious.
