Arroz Doce – Portuguese Rice Pudding
Come on and jump in! It’s delicious!
Arroz Doce – Sweet Rice Pudding, has always been my family’s favorite served on Christmas Eve. This is one of the most famous Portuguese desserts served around the Holidays and at celebrations. But I everyone loves it any time of the year! It’s pure Portuguese comfort in one bite!
Aletria, a sweet pasta dessert is also a traditional dessert for the Holidays. Enjoy!
