Time 5h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup uncooked short-grain white rice
3 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup blanched almond, chopped
1 tablespoon sliced almonds, toasted
1 (16 ounce) can dark sweet cherries
1 tablespoon cornstarch
water
cherry flavored liqueur, if desired

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine rice and milk. Cook over medium heat 45 minutes or until rice is tender; set aside to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whip cream until stiff; stir in vanilla. Stir whipped cream, sugar and chopped almonds into cooled rice mixture. Spoon into a serving dish. Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours. Sprinkle with toasted almonds.
  • To make sauce: Heat cherries with juice. Dissolve cornstarch in a little water. Stir into cherries; gently stir over medium heat until thickened. Flavor with liquer, if desired. Serve rice pudding with hot cherry sauce.
  • Interesting note: It was once traditional in Denmark to include 1 whole almond in the rice pudding. The person who found it would receive the prize-a marzipan pig.

I used vanilla extract instead of almond extract and it was still delicious.
