When I saw that my sweetie Lis was hosting the latest edition of the Weekend Cookbook Challenge (originated by Sara of i like to cook), I knew that I had to find time to participate.
Between work and the Easter holiday, this past month has been a busy one to say the least. But I did some planning and managed to find some time to try a recipe that I’ve been longing to try for some time: Rice Pudding with Dulce de Leche.
The idea for this dessert came from a book that I adore called Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey: Desserts for the Serious Sweet Tooth by Jill O’Connor. The book is beyond gorgeous and there’s a recipe in there for rice pudding with dulce de leche and cream.
I’d wanted to try the recipe for awhile and decided that this was the perfect occasion. While I borrowed the idea, however, I used my own go-to rice pudding recipe as the basis.
The theme for this WCC was to prepare a recipe using a pressure cooker, dutch oven or crockpot. I decided to use a dutch oven to prepare the rice pudding because we recently bought a little one that is just too adorable! Sometimes I’ll just put it on the stove and look at it because it’s so darn cute!
Once the rice pudding was cooked, I swirled in a huge dollop of dulce de leche and enjoyed a lovely treat.
I hope you get to enjoy it too!
Ciao!

I’ve never made rice pudding….gee, look what I’ve been missing. I did try a new biscuit recipe over Easter — made with whipping cream instead of butter. Very easy. I’ll post in a few days, although I’m sure you’ve made them. Would be great for berry shortcakes.

Rice pudding AND dulce de leche? That’s a marriage made in heaven! Looks and sounds just great!

Now there’s a combo I have to wonder why I didn’t think of that. Sounds just right!

Too funny. I made rice pudding yesterday and I mentioned you in my post.

I have grown to like and crave rice pudding, something that took quite a few years. This is the third time within the last few weeks that I have come across Dulce de Leche, which by the way I have never tasted! Will have to change that, and today is just a good of a day as any. Thanks

Oh, Ivonne, you are so mean!
Rice pudding is already one of my favorites. And then you go and add dulce de leche to it?? My goodness!

We got a blue heart shaped Le Creuset dutch oven (small size) and I leave on the stove, year long…it is that cute! Love the rice pudding, and with DDL…hmmmm!!
