Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the arborio rice and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked.
  • Add the milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel to the saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks.
  • Add a ladleful of the rice mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the yolks from curdling.
  • Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly.
  • Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the Arroz Doce is thick and creamy.
  • Remove the cinnamon stick and lemon peel from the mixture and discard.
  • Pour the Arroz Doce into individual serving dishes and let cool to room temperature.
  • Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top, if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy!
