4 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons sugar
4 ounces chopped blanched almonds

Cherry Sauce (warm, for serving (click the link for the cherry sauce recipe))
Sprigs of fresh mint for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring the rice, salt, lemon zest, sugar and water to a boil in a medium-sized stock pot. Boil for 3 minutes, add the milk and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, increasing the frequency during the last 10 minutes to prevent scorching. Stir in the chopped blanched almonds.

DANISH RICE PUDDING



Danish Rice Pudding image

This recipe came to me from my husbands family. It was their custom and ours to hide a white nut in the pudding and whomever found the nut received a gift. Usually a box of chocolates for the kids or a bottle of wine for the adults. The game was to keep the nut hidden in your mouth until all the pudding was consumed.

DANISH CHRISTMAS RICE PUDDING WITH ALMONDS AND WARM CHERRY SAUCE



Danish Christmas Rice Pudding With Almonds and Warm Cherry Sauce image

Danish Christmas rice pudding with warm cherry sauce or Risalamande is traditionally served on Christmas Eve. Whoever finds the hidden almond receives a small gift. I like this recipe because it is cooked entirely on the stove top and cooks in one hour, rather than in the oven for two hours or more. Can be made in advance and refrigerated until serving time. The Danes often buy a store bought cherry sauce, but I've included a recipe for home-made. :) Adapted from an online source.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups full-fat milk
1/3 cup short-grained white rice (65 g)
1/2 vanilla pod (reserve the other half for the sauce)
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup almond paste (or use almond flakes or finely chopped almonds)
1 whole almond (more if you have several children present)
1 1/2 cups frozen pitted cherries (about 185 g)
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 vanilla pod
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon potato starch (corn starch can be substituted)
fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Steps:

  • Split half of the vanilla pod length ways, scrape out the seeds.
  • Place the milk and vanilla in a heavy-bottomed pan. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat. Add the rice gradually, stirring constantly.
  • Increase the heat and bring to a boil again.
  • When the milk boils, reduce the heat, cover and simmer on a very low heat for about 1 hour or until the rice is cooked. Stir from time to time, making sure that the rice doesn't stick too much to the bottom.
  • Leave to cool completely.
  • Whip the cream together with sugar. Fold the whipped cream and almonds into the rice. You can add more sugar or more almonds if you wish. Serve with warm cherry sauce.
  • Now make the cherry sauce. Place the cherries in a medium saucepan. Add sugar and 1 1/2 cups water. Add the vanilla pod. Simmer until the cherries are tender.
  • Combine the potato starch with 2 tablespoons cold water.
  • Bring the cherries to a boil. Remove the vanilla pod from the pot. Reduce the heat, and , stirring constantly, slowly pour the water with the starch. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and serve warm over the rice pudding. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your rice pudding. Use the best quality rice you can find, such as Arborio or Carnaroli. Use real vanilla extract, not imitation vanilla flavoring. And use fresh milk and cream, not powdered or ultra-pasteurized.
  • Cook the rice pudding slowly and gently: Rice pudding is a delicate dish that requires patience. Don't rush the cooking process. Cook the rice pudding over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is creamy and thick. This will take about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Let the rice pudding cool before serving: Rice pudding is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken. You can chill the rice pudding for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Garnish the rice pudding with your favorite toppings: Rice pudding is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings. Popular toppings include cinnamon sugar, nutmeg, whipped cream, fresh fruit, and nuts.
