Steps:
- In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, stir together the milk, rice, sugar, and salt and bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cook at a very slow simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice absorbs all the liquid and is soft, about 30 minutes.
- Once cooked, turn off the heat and stir in ¾ cup (3¾oz/106g) chopped almonds and vanilla extract. Set aside to cool completely.
- While the rice is cooling, make the cherry sauce: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cherries and sugar.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch and water, and pour into the pan with the cherries.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the cherries are softened and the sauce is thickened and clear, about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the rice is cooled, whip the cream to soft peaks and fold into the rice.
- Scoop into six serving bowls. Top with the cherry sauce and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup (1¼oz/35g) chopped almonds.
- This rice pudding is best eaten the day it is made but you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Warm-up for a minute to room temperature in the microwave before eating.

DANISH RICE PUDDING
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 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.

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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your rice pudding. Use organic milk and cream, and opt for a medium or short grain rice that cooks up creamy, like Arborio or Carnaroli.
- Cook the rice slowly and gently: Don't rush the cooking process. Simmer the rice over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and creamy. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Add flavorings and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavorings and spices to create your own unique rice pudding. Some popular additions include vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and ginger.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your rice pudding is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste, if desired. Remember, you can always add more sugar if needed, but it's difficult to remove it once it's been added.
- Chill before serving: Rice pudding is best served chilled, so make sure to allow it to cool completely before refrigerating. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Danish Rice Pudding is a delicious and comforting dessert that is easy to make. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and nutty crunch from the almonds, it is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you are serving it as a special occasion treat or as a simple weeknight dessert, Danish Rice Pudding is sure to be a hit.
