Rice pudding is a traditional dessert that has won over palates all over the world, with origins dating back to several ancient cultures where rice was a fundamental ingredient. In Latin America, this sweet treat is known by various names depending on the region: in Mexico it is called "arroz con leche," in Colombia it is also known by this name, while in some Caribbean countries it might simply be called "rice pudding." This dessert not only represents a delightful flavor but also a sweet tradition that accompanies family celebrations and special moments, adapting to local ingredients and techniques unique to each place.
In its preparation, the rice is slowly cooked in sweetened milk, generally flavored with cinnamon and vanilla, until a creamy texture is obtained. In this particular recipe, a tropical touch is added with the banana and a fresh contrast with the raspberry coulis, fusing flavors and colors that make this pudding a very special and visually appealing experience.
