Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of short-grain rice
  • 4 cups of milk
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 lemon peel
  • 4 egg yolks
  • Cinnamon powder (for garnish)

Equipment

Method

  1. Wash the rice and put it in a pot with enough water to cover it. Cook the rice until it is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
  2. In a separate pot, bring the milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel to a boil.
  3. Remove the cinnamon stick and lemon peel from the milk mixture.
  4. Add the cooked rice to the milk mixture and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until the rice is creamy and the mixture has thickened.
  5. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and add a ladle of the hot rice mixture. Whisk until combined.
  6. Add the egg mixture back to the pot and stir well.
  7. Cook over low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  8. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  9. Transfer the sweet rice to a serving dish and sprinkle with cinnamon powder.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Portuguese sweet rice can be served warm or cold. If you prefer it warm, you can skip the refrigeration step. You can also add raisins or chopped almonds to the rice pudding for added texture and flavor.

Recipe Tips

  • If the rice is not tender after cooking, add a little more water and continue cooking until it is soft.
  • Stir the rice occasionally when cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Whisk the egg yolks well before adding them to the hot rice mixture to prevent them from curdling.
