Danish Rice Pudding With Almonds Recipes

RISALAMANDE (DANISH ALMOND RICE PUDDING WITH CHERRY SAUCE)

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.
