Ingredients

|| Horchata Pudding ||

3/4 cups sugar

1/3 cup corn starch

5 egg yolks

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup rice milk

2 cinnamon sticks

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoons Mexican vanilla

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

|| Dulce de leche ||

1 can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

|| Dulce de leche || Remove the label from the can of sweetened condensed milk and submerge it into a pot of water. Simmer the water over the stove for 2.5 – 3 hours. Make sure the water stays 1-inch above the can at all times. Let the can cool before opening.

|| Pudding || Whisk sugar and corn starch together. Add the egg yolks, milk, and rice milk, and stir together over medium heat. Add in the cinnamon sticks. Continue to whisk until it has completely thickened. 

Remove from heat, remove the cinnamon sticks and add the butter, vanilla, and ground cinnamon. Whisk until smooth.

Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least two hours. When you’re ready to assemble the parfaits, whisk the pudding until smooth and alternate layers with the Dulce de leche. Top with fresh whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.
