Grandma’s Rice Pudding A creamy dessert that tastes like home.

📜 History & Fun Fact

Rice pudding has ancient roots. It’s believed to have arrived in Spain from Asia via the Arabs, who introduced rice and sugar to the Iberian Peninsula. Over time, each region adapted the dessert, adding cinnamon, lemon peel, or vanilla.

In Latin America, it became a universal symbol of family love — every grandmother has her own version: thicker or more liquid, sweeter or lighter, but always made to comfort the soul.
