It’s Sabroso Saturday (Translation: Tasty Saturday)! The day when we share recipes that have helped us stretch our budget, our imagination and our taste buds, without sacrificing our health!
********************
This week’s Sabroso Saturday features Chocolate Rice Pudding and contains chocolate milk. The recipe is a wonderful variation of the Arroz con Leche/Spanish Style Rice Pudding I grew up with in my family. The chocolate milk also seems to boil over well with the kids (mine loved it!). Even better, it helps them meet their daily calcium recommendations while also providing them with vitamins A, D and B12, and potassium!
I also like the simplicity and ease of the Chocolate Rice Pudding recipe. I can easily double it and serve it to a larger group, which I plan on doing during the holidays. I would also serve smaller servings in Dixie cups (4 oz vs. 8 oz) on a decorative platter.
Note: You can reduce the calories in this recipe even further by using fat free condensed milk instead of the regular condensed milk.

Oh I love love love rice pudding. My abuelita used to make that for me too!! THis looks pretty good!
I prefer it cool to room temperature. mmm the memories
Carolyn & Melinda: While making the pudding it brought so many memories of me playing with my cousins while the mujeres/women cooked in the kitchen and the men played dominoes! Those were good times!
I’m hoping this chocolate variation becomes a family tradition, that the boys will associate with me when they have kids of their own. 🙂
As many other Latinas, I have wonderful memories of watching and making rice pudding for the holidays and special events with my family. This recipe looks really yummy.

Mmm.. Arroz con dulce. One favorite holiday treat of mine. I must try it with the chocolate milk. These holidays will be full of special dishes thatnks to Sabroso Saturday!
MMMMM MMMMM Cannot wait to try!!!! Love he chocolate milk variation too. 🙂
Yummm! This is a great varietion…and pretty healthy, too! Actually Arroz con dulce is a great thing to make if you have some one in your house not feeling well, the rice is soothing to the digestive tract and you can use Soymilk if you need to! (Plus it’s a FABulous comfort food!)
Rice pudding is comfort food. Love the idea of a chocolate version.

Sounds yummy, can’t wait to try it….
I know it’s strange, but I don’t really like rice pudding. Adding chocolate to it may change that, though 🙂
