@arecipe.bsky.social

Egyptian sweet rice pudding, also known as roz bil laban, is a delightful and creamy dessert in Egyptian cuisine. This comforting dessert features fragrant rice cooked in milk, infused with aromatic ingredients like cinnamon and vanilla, and sweetened with sugar or condensed milk. It is often garnished with nuts and raisins for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 4 cups milk
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar (adjust according to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish
  • Chopped nuts (such as almonds or pistachios) for garnish
  • Raisins for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1
    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. 2
    In a saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon stick.
  3. 3
    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
  6. 6
    Divide the pudding into serving bowls or dessert cups.
  7. 7
