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.
- Let the rice cool and then chill for several hours or overnight.
- Beat the cream until it starts to thicken. Add the sugar, vanilla bean paste and almond extract and beat until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-beat. Stir the cream mixture into the rice pudding.(Note: The rice will may be very stiff. Stir it to loosen it up and then stir it more after the cream has been added to break up any clumps.)
- Serve the Risalamande at room temperature with the warm cherry sauce.

DANISH RICE PUDDING W/RASPBERRY SAUCE (RIS A LA MANDE)
This is the traditional Danish Christmas dessert, served on Dec 24 before we walk around the Christmas tree and sing carols. The texture of the rice pudding is somewhat coarse due to the chopped up almonds. A whole blanched almond is placed in the dish and whoever gets this almond wins the almond present. This game is loved by young and old with everybody guessing who has the almond. Usually it is not revealed until all of the dish is gone. The dish can of course be served any time throughout the year but you will be hard pressed to find it on any other date if in Denmark. I blanch the almonds and chop by knife; freshly blanched almonds have a fresher flavour I find.

Steps:
- Bring milk to a boil slowly in a large pot.
- Add rice, keep simmering until rice is tender, stir every 3 min or so to prevent rice and/or milk burning at the bottom. This step takes approx 45 minute While the rice is simmering you can make the raspberry sauce and chop the almonds.
- When rice is firm remove from heat and let cool. When cool add vanilla sugar, sugar and almonds.
- Fold in whipped cream.
- Chill and serve with warm raspberry sauce.
- SAUCE:.
- In medium sauce pan place frozen raspberries and 2 tbsp of water, heat until thawed, add sugar and stir. Let simmer for approx 3-5 minute.
- Mix cornstarch with water and add to the sauce to thicken. This step can be omitted if you want a more natural and thinner sauce.
- TIP- you can also serve this dish with a strawberry sauce or a mix of raspberry and strawberry. I prefer the raspberry sauce as it adds a bit of tartness to an otherwise sweet dish. Traditionally the dish is served with a cherry sauce, our family never did though instead preferring the raspberry or strawberry sauce.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your rice almond pudding. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Cook the rice properly. The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and the pudding will not have a good texture.
- Use a good quality almond milk. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of the pudding. Look for an almond milk that is unsweetened and has a creamy texture.
- Don't overcook the pudding. The pudding should be cooked until it is thick and creamy, but not too thick. If you overcook the pudding, it will become rubbery and difficult to eat.
- Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set properly.
Conclusion:
Rice almond pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can also be made with different flavors of almond milk to create a variety of different desserts. Whether you are looking for a simple dessert to serve at a party or a special treat to enjoy on a weeknight, rice almond pudding is a great option.
