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.
  • * I used frozen sour cherries in this recipe, but regular sweet cherries should work as well.

CHERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH



Cherry Cream Cheese Danish image

I have baked the night before and then warmed in the oven to serve. It will microwave well to warm left over servings. You could also make 4 loaves if you wish to share as gifts. This is one of the goodies that I am always asked to bring.

Provided by annette sullivan

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 can(s) extra cherries -cherry pie filling (3 cans if you can't find the extra cherry
2-8oz pkg cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp vanilla
1 c powdered sugar
4 can(s) 8 count crossiant rolls

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 425*. Pour cherry pie filling into a colander and with a spatuala, gently spoon around to remove as much of the gel as possible. Set aside.
  • 2. Beat the softened cream cheese with the vanilla. Gently add the powdered sugar a bit at a time to make the mixture to the consistancy of a thick frosting. You may use a little less than the cup or a little more.
  • 3. Use a LARGE nonstick cookie sheet or foil-lined sheet as this will help to transfer to a serving platter. You can make one very long loaf but two are easier to transfer to serving platters. Separate the cans of the crossiants one at at time.Lay out two cans of the crossiants with the fat side to the middle, pinching the seams together. ^v^v^v^v. Then come back with the next two cans and cover the openings. Gently use your hands or a rolling pin to roll the center for about a 3" portion to make sure there are no openings on the bottom surface.
  • 4. In the center of the dough, spoon the cream cheese mixture. Spoon the drained cherries on top of the cream cheese.
  • 5. Pull the dough up over the mixture, cross-crossing as you go, pinching the seams and covering all the mixture. If there are a few openings near the top, it won't matter. Place in the oven on the center rack to bake. I start checking the loaves at about 30 minutes for doneness but it normally takes about 45 minutes. It will depend on the moisture in the air. When the Loaf is nicely browned, all the dough should be done.

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.

  • Sprinkle the danishes with powdered sugar before serving. This will add a touch of sweetness and elegance.
