Instructions

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rice and water. Cook over medium heat until the rice is tender and the water is fully absorbed.

Reduce the heat to low, pour in the milk, and stir continuously for about 20 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir to combine.

Continue stirring occasionally for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the pudding reaches a creamy consistency.

Remove the pudding from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Optionally, refrigerate for a chilled dessert or serve warm. Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top before serving, if desired.
