Recipes FAQ

What is Portuguese rice pudding?

Portuguese rice pudding is a creamy and sweet dessert that is popular in Portugal and around the world. It is made with short-grain white rice, milk, cream, sugar, and egg yolks, and is typically flavored with cinnamon and orange zest.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
