A silky Portuguese rice pudding gently simmered with lemon, cinnamon, and milk until creamy, then finished with a classic cinnamon pattern. Serve it chilled or just warm for a softly fragrant dessert with tender grains and a glossy custard-like texture.

Short-grain rice releases starch as it simmers, creating body without eggs or flour. Lemon zest keeps the rich milk fragrant and bright, while cinnamon adds the unmistakable Portuguese character.
Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Press parchment or plastic wrap directly against the surface to limit a skin from forming.
Reheat individual portions gently in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals, or warm in a saucepan over low heat with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk per serving. Do not boil.
