"This a very traditional Spanish dish that can be enjoyed for desert or breakfast with a sprinkling of cinnamon and fresh berries. My Abuelo used to make this for me all the time when I was a little girl. His secret to this dish was mixing two egg yolks through the rice pudding resulting in a decadently rich and creamy dish.
Make a big batch of this on Sunday night and enjoy throughout the week for breakfast. For a bit of variety, get creative with your toppings and enjoy this rice pudding with berries, apple compote, prunes or mixed nuts and seeds. The little ones will love eating this dish as well.
For a healthier version, you can swap the white sugar for 2 tablespoons stevia."
