Crock-pot Vegan Arroz con Leche

Desserts
Mexican Sides & Mains

Arroz con lech; Cinnamon, creamy rice pudding. I grew up eating this delicious dessert because both my Mexican grandmas would make this (especially during the holidays) so this hits home for me! This was so simple to veganize. Still has that creamy rich flavor all while being dairy free! There are people who love their arroz con leche warm and fresh and others who like it cold straight from the fridge! this tastes so delicious straight from the @crockpot 8 QT Crock-Pot® Express Crisp Pressure Cooker or days later from the fridge!

The crock-pot pressure cooker cuts the cooking time in half and makes things so convenient and fast! Would be perfect to make a large double or even triple batch during the holidays and serve directly from the crock-pot!
