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.

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.

RISALAMANDE (DANISH RICE PUDDING)



Risalamande (Danish Rice Pudding) image

I was staying with friends during Christmas several years ago. They also had some friends from Denmark who came to stay for the holidays. They brought a special rice and made this dessert. I fell in love with it. Of course I couldn't find their rice, but thought that Arborio rice would work, since the Danish rice looked...

Categories     Puddings

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

PUDDING
1 c arborio rice (it must be this kind of rice)
7 1/2 c 1 % low-fat milk
3/4 c sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 c slivered almonds
4 c whipping cream, whipped
SAUCE
4 c frozen raspberries
1/2 c water
3/4 c sugar, divided
2 Tbsp cornstarch

Steps:

  • 1. Bring milk to a boil slowly in a large pot.
  • 2. Add rice, keep simmering until rice is tender, stirring every 3-4 minutes to prevent rice or milk from burning at the bottom. This takes 45 minutes to an hour.
  • 3. When rice is firm, remove from the heat and let cool. All the milk should be absorbed into the rice when it is done. When cool, add the sugar, vanilla and almonds, and mix in.
  • 4. Fold in whipped cream. Chill and serve with raspberry sauce.
  • 5. While the rice is simmering, you can make the raspberry sauce. In a medium saucepan place the frozen raspberries and water, heat until thawed, add 1/2 cup of the sugar and stir. Let simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  • 6. Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup of sugar and add to the sauce to thicken. This step can be omitted if you want a more natural and thinner sauce.
  • 7. TIP: You can also serve with a strawberry sauce or a cherry sauce. My new Danish friend made it with the raspberry sauce, but I have read that a cherry sauce is more traditional. I haven't tried that, but I am going to next time I make it. I have also thought about doing a strawberry/raspberry mix for the sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 qt rice, uncooked
1 qt dry milk powder
7 1/2 qt water
2 qt sugar, granulated
2 tsp salt
1/2 c margarine
3/4 c gelatin, unflavored
3 c cold water to soften gelatin
1 gal whipped topping
CHERRY SAUCE
3 # 10 can(s) red cherries (frozen)
1 Tbsp salt
1 -1/2 qt sugar
3/4 c cornstarch
1 gal juice drained from cherries (plus water)

Steps:

  • 1. I think you could use 7 1/2 quarts of milk in place of the dry milk powder and water.
  • 2. The day before, add milk and water or ( milk ) to rice. Cook in oven at 350*, covered tightly, for 1 hour or until done.
  • 3. Add sugar, salt and margarine to cooked rice. Soften gelatin in cold water: then add to rice mixture Cook just long enough to incorporate all ingredients. Cool

  • 6. Add sugar, salt and cornstarch to juice. Cook until thick and clear. Add cherries. Stir to mix all cherries and juice together. Cool Serve with # 30 scoop

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a more flavorful rice pudding. Choose a good quality short-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, and use full-fat milk and cream.
  • Cook the rice slowly and gently: This will help the rice to absorb the flavors of the milk and cream and prevent it from becoming gummy.
  • Add the sugar and spices gradually: This will help to prevent the rice pudding from becoming too sweet or too spicy.
  • Let the rice pudding cool slowly: This will help the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Serve the rice pudding warm or cold: Danish rice pudding can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference.

Conclusion:
