Arroz con Coco
A traditional dessert from my hometown of SoTiLLO in Barlovento, Miranda State, Venezuela. This sweet treat is especially popular during Lent and Holy Week. It's a recipe that has been passed down through generations, and we hope it continues to be shared.

Crack open the coconuts and reserve the coconut water.

Add more water to the blended coconut pulp and squeeze well to get light coconut milk, enough to cook the rice.

Rinse the rice, then place it in a pot with the light coconut milk, cinnamon sticks, cloves, panela, a pinch of salt, and sugar if needed for sweetness.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is soft and creamy.
