Rice with 3 milks homemade

Homemade Rice with Tres Leches Recipe (Serves 6–8)

Ingredients:

• For the rice:
  • 1 cup white rice (long-grain or medium-grain)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 pinch of salt
• For the tres leches mixture:
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup condensed milk
  • 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• For the topping:
  • Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • Ground cinnamon for dusting
  • Fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, mango slices) or nuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Rice:
   • Rinse the rice until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, cinnamon stick, and salt.
   • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 18–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
   • Remove the cinnamon stick and set the rice aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Tres Leches Mixture:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if using).
3. Combine:
   • Transfer the warm rice to a serving dish (a large shallow dish or individual cups work well).
   • Pour the tres leches mixture evenly over the rice. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for 1–2 hours for a chilled dessert.
4. Serve:
   • Top with whipped cream and a dusting of ground cinnamon. Add fresh fruit or nuts if desired.

Tips:

• For extra creaminess, replace the whole milk with heavy cream.
• If you prefer a sweeter dish, drizzle a little extra condensed milk on top before serving.
• Make ahead for a more intense flavor as the rice absorbs the milk over time.
