Arroz con Dulce -Rice Pudding with Coconut Milk

This Arroz con Dulce would be a great dessert/treat for Cinco de Mayo. It's been on the blog since 2010 and I've made it a few times now, this is truthfully the best rice pudding I've ever had! Coconut milk, cloves and ginger give it exotic flavor and it's nice and creamy. While I still don't know what I'm making for dinner this Sunday (May 5th), I do know this will be dessert:@)
