Riz Au Lait or L’ami Jean's Famous Rice Pudding is a French dessert that dates back to the early 16th century. This dessert was often served at banquets, and over time the recipe has been improved. Today L’ami Jean's Famous Rice Pudding is made with high quality ingredients like whole milk, bomba rice, and heavy cream.
