Ryan Gosling has made a career of flexing both his acting chops and his biceps, and I commend him for this dedication. From big, sweeping romances like The Notebook and La La Land to his turn as Ken in 2023’s blockbuster hit, Barbie, he’s been a mainstay on the silver screen for 20 years.
When he’s not acting, Ryan is hanging out with his family. He’s been in a relationship with fellow actor Eva Mendes since 2011, and the couple has two daughters, Esmerelda and Amada. He keeps a lot of his personal life private, but there is one aspect that he will discuss: food! Which is lucky for me, since my job is to write about food.
And if you’re wondering, he does play favorites. There is one recipe that he just can’t seem to get “Kenough” of, and it’s one that his mother-in-law makes!
Recipes What is Ryan Gosling’s favorite dessert?
“If you could only eat one dish for the rest of your life, what would it be?” I think that is a pretty impossible question to answer, but it didn’t stump Ryan Gosling in this Netflix interview. Much to my surprise, he had an answer ready to go—and it’s a good one!
“It would be Eva’s mom’s arroz con leche,” he said. And then he even took it a step further by elaborating on exactly how it tastes. “It’s like an angel crying on your tongue,” he continued.
Recipes What is arroz con leche?
TASTE OF HOME
Arroz con leche is a sweet, cinnamon-spiced pudding. It’s a big part of Mexican and other Latin cuisines. Ryan Gosling’s mother-in-law, Eva Perez Suarez, is Cuban.
As with any dish, it will vary from culture to culture and family to family, but the basic ingredients are the same. It’s a mixture of rice, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon and raisins. Angel tears must be that secret family ingredient!
