DANISH RICE PUDDING W/RASPBERRY SAUCE (RIS A LA MANDE)

Steps:

• Bring milk to a boil slowly in a large pot.
• Add rice, keep simmering until rice is tender, stir every 3 min or so to prevent rice and/or milk burning at the bottom. This step takes approx 45 minute While the rice is simmering you can make the raspberry sauce and chop the almonds.
• When rice is firm remove from heat and let cool. When cool add vanilla sugar, sugar and almonds.
• Fold in whipped cream.
• Chill and serve with warm raspberry sauce.
• SAUCE:.
• In medium sauce pan place frozen raspberries and 2 tbsp of water, heat until thawed, add sugar and stir. Let simmer for approx 3-5 minute.
• Mix cornstarch with water and add to the sauce to thicken. This step can be omitted if you want a more natural and thinner sauce.
• TIP- you can also serve this dish with a strawberry sauce or a mix of raspberry and strawberry. I prefer the raspberry sauce as it adds a bit of tartness to an otherwise sweet dish. Traditionally the dish is served with a cherry sauce, our family never did though instead preferring the raspberry or strawberry sauce.
