Creamy with a fantastic blend of lemon and cinnamon this dessert is inspired by a traditional Cuban rice pudding. The perfect finish to a Cuban dinner or simply to enjoy any time.
Adding the lemon and cinnamon stick to the water before the rice increases their flavor intensity! The use of jasmine rice rather than plain white rice adds provides a softer flavor base. Top with cinnamon whipped cream and enjoy!
