Easy & Healthy(ish) Arroz Con Leche

 

Arroz con leche reminds me of home. It’s such a comfort food and as a kid I ate so many bowls of this creamy goodness!

I can’t get away with eating arroz con leche now because it’s a bit much on the calorie side. My grandma used regular milk and a few cans of evaporated milk along with tons of sugar.

I decided to lighten up my grandmas recipe using almond milk but adding in Nestle’s Media Crema to keep it creamy.

Media Crema is a shelf-stable cream that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. I’ve even seen the crema added to guacamole!

The best part of the recipe is that it’s easy since I use up leftover rice. And I love that it’s a healthier version of my favorite childhood comfort food.

Gabby loved the arroz served hot or cold!
