Step 1

Soak rice in cold water for at least three hours

Step 2

Once the rice is soaked, rinse, and set aside.

Step 3

Place four cups of water into a heavy saucepan and add spices.

Step 4

Bring water to a boil in high heat and then let it simmer for 10 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

Step 5

Remove spices. Keep the cinnamon sticks for garnish.

Step 6

Add the rice and cook on medium heat.

Step 7

Once the rice absorbs the water (around 10-15 minutes), stir in the coconut milk and cream of coconut and cover and cook in medium-low heat.

Step 8

Let it cook until soft. It should take around 20 minutes. Every 5-7 minutes, give it a stir to ensure that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.

Step 9

Fifteen minutes in, stir the raisins and the butter to finish.

Step 10

Once it’s done, remove it from the pan. I usually like to mold the arroz con dulce in a platter. You can use smaller plates or little containers to give away as gifts.

Step 11

Let it cool for an hour at room temperature. Add ground cinnamon and use the cinnamon sticks as a garnish.

Step 12

Place in the fridge. It’s best to make it overnight, although it’s so difficult to control myself!
