Rice pudding is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic rice desserts around the globe. The history behind the original recipe remains a debate, as this humble treat has been enjoyed for thousands of years in many regions. Some people say the very first came from India, where it’s known as Kheer or from China, one of the countries with an ancient rice culture, while some others say Arroz con Leche (spanish for Rice pudding) originated from Latin America. Many other European countries have a signature recipe for this dessert too, like Portuguese Sweet Rice.
