Arroz Con Tres Leches Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and thoroughly rinse under cool water for about 5 minutes, or until the water runs clear. Let the rice sit in the strainer for 3-5 minutes to dry slightly.
• Transfer the rice to a 4-quart pot. Add the sugar and stir to coat the rice, then add the whole milk, salt, and ¾ cup (180 ml) coconut milk.
• Use a paring knife to split the vanilla bean pod in half lengthwise, then scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds and scraped pod to the pot with the rice.
• Cook the rice mixture over medium heat, stirring to scrape the bottom and sides of the pot often to prevent sticking or burning, until al dente, about 25 minutes. Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue cooking until tender, but not mushy, about 10 minutes more.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in ¼ cup coconut milk and the butter until fully incorporated.
• If serving the pudding warm, cover the pot until ready to serve. Otherwise, transfer the rice pudding to a small glass baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the toasted cinnamon: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the cinnamon sticks on the prepared baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until dark brown and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
• Transfer the cinnamon sticks to a spice grinder or blender and grind into a fine powder. Transfer the ground toasted cinnamon to a small jar or airtight container and keep at room temperature in a cool dry place for up to 1 month.
• Make the citrus-infused raisins: Add the raisins, orange peel, cinnamon stick, cloves, and hot water to a 4-cup heatproof bowl and let steep for at least 20 minutes, up to overnight.
• Toast the coconut: Spread the coconut in a single layer on a small rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, 7-10 minutes.
• When ready to serve, transfer the pudding to a large bowl if not still in the pot (remove and discard the vanilla bean pod). Stir in the remaining ½ cup coconut milk until just incorporated, adding more as needed to reach your desired consistency.
• Divide the pudding between serving bowls or glasses. Place a teaspoon of the ground cinnamon in a fine-mesh sieve and dust evenly over the pudding. Sprinkle the toasted coconut and citrus-infused raisins on top and a drizzle with sweetened condensed milk.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small food processor, combine the graham crackers and untoasted coconut flakes and process until finely ground and well combined. Transfer to a shallow dish and set aside.
• In a separate shallow dish, use a fork or whisk to mix together the flour and 2 teaspoons of toasted cinnamon.
• Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop some of the arroz con tres leches into the flour mixture and roll to coat lightly, then roll in your hands into a tight ball. Place on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining rice. Freeze for 1 hour, or up to overnight. Reserve the remaining flour mixture.
• In a medium pot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels and place a wire rack on top.
• In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
• Remove the rice balls from the freezer and coat again in the flour, then in the egg, and then in the graham-coconut mixture, dusting off any excess.
• Working in batches of 4-6 at a time, fry the rice balls in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to the wire rack to drain and sprinkle with the salt and remaining 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
• Meanwhile, in a small pot, combine the sweetened condensed milk and orange zest. Cook over medium-low heat until warm, but not boiling, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a squeeze bottle.
• Arrange the arancini on a plate and drizzle with the orange-infused condensed milk. Top with the toasted coconut flakes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl.
• In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer until light, fluffy, and nearly doubled in size, 6-8 minutes.
• Using a spatula, gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined (some streaks of flour are okay).
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Combine the milk and vanilla extract in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, then gently fold into the batter, mixing just to blend.
• Spray 2 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the batter between the pans.
• Bake until the cakes are golden brown around the edges and spring back slightly when pressed in the center, about 20-25 minutes.
• While the cakes are baking, combine the evaporated milk, coconut milk and condensed milk in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl and whisk to blend.
• Once the cakes are done, immediately remove the cakes from the pans and invert them onto a wire rack or baking sheet. Cool for 2 minutes. Then, poke the cakes all over with a fork.
• Return the cakes to the pans. Drizzle the condensed milk mixture over the cakes, letting it soak in. Let sit for 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Carefully transfer one of the cakes to a cake stand.
• Spread a layer of the whipped cream over the cake. Place the other cake on top and spread with the remaining whipped cream.
• Decorate with berries, if desired.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!
