Portuguese Sweet Rice (Arroz Doce) Comments
-
AnaHi Eddie, it should be noted that the rice should be cooked & soft before adding the sugar as once the sugar is added the rice, it stops the rice from cooking. This was taught to me by a Portuguese lady that was over 100 years old.2 Years ago, Wednesday, May 3, 2023reply
LuAnn (Soares) SilveriThat’s a great tip! Never knew that.2 Years ago, Friday, May 12, 2023
Betty C.Yes, My Mom taught me the same thing. Add sugar once you're happy with the texture of the rice as once you add the sugar the rice will stop cooking.11 Months ago, Sunday, February 18, 2024 -
EileenFirst time making this. My neighbor who is Portuguese recently lost her Mom and her husband so I'm making this for her for Easter. It tastes fantastic. I did not use the eggs.2 Years ago, Saturday, April 8, 2023

Denise JenningsIt’s a lovely dessert. You didn’t mention it here but a good reminder to tell people to temper the eggs before adding to pudding. The first time I made it was for after dinner, but this time we had it after breakfast!! I know. We are so greedy for the pudding no one in the family could wait for dinner time.2 Years ago, Tuesday, March 28, 2023

DanaJust made this, and I am in heaven. A taste of my childhood! I substituted soya milk for the whole milk and 1/2 cup of honey for the white sugar. It turned out fantastic. Than you Eddie for posting so many wonderful and authentic recipes.3 Years ago, Thursday, May 19, 2022

DodieCan I use lime peel3 Years ago, Sunday, April 17, 2022reply
NickI would say no! The lemon is such a signature part of this dish and comes through so nicely. Lime will give you a different flavor profile.3 Years ago, Saturday, April 23, 2022
KathleenTo Nick: I used orange rind and juice, no cinnamon but did use a vanilla bean. Have to say, it was lovely.

DebbyWhat is arborio rice? Someone told me to use river rice.3 Years ago, Monday, April 11, 2022reply
Arborio rice is high in amylopectin, a starch present in rice. Because it undergoes less milling than ordinary long-grain rice, arborio retains more of its natural starch content and you get a creamier result.3 Years ago, Monday, April 11, 2022
JerushaI found that there is a Tastic arborio risotto rice... And Woolworths sells a risotto rice that is for rice pudding. It actually gives a stickier feeling therefore the creamier texture as well as taste.2 Years ago, Thursday, January 26, 2023

SilviaI like this recipe but mine was very liquidy with the 4 cups of liquid if I had followed the time directions. I had to add another almost 40 minutes of coming time to make sure the rice was fully cooked and not too liquidy. Also, I think one cup of sugar is good if you like it extremely sweet, otherwise maybe 1/2 cup then add more if needed. I will definitely make this again and try to tweak it a bit.3 Years ago, Friday, October 8, 2021
