Known throughout the world under different names - arroz con leche (Spain and Latin America), kheer (India and South Asia), riz au lait (France), milchreis (Germany), and more - rice pudding is a global dish tracing back to ancient times.
Sutlijaš, Balkan rice pudding, is a creamy sweet rice made with milk and vanilla. Perfectly nostalgic and endlessly comforting, milk rice is a timeless dessert. Ideal for family gatherings or a solo indulgence.
In the Balkans, rice pudding is known as sutlijaš, sutlija, or riža na mlijeku/ mleku (rice on milk). It's a beloved, old-fashioned treat. As can be detected from its name, sutlijaš (süt meaning milk in Turkish), was brought over to the region by the Ottomans, a few centuries ago.
We resurrected this easy, delicious dish due to its universal appeal! With a velvety texture, and just the right amount of sweetness, rice pudding (sutlijaš) is equally tasty chilled from the fridge or straight off the stove.
