Ingredients

• 1 cup Short-grain rice
• 4 cups Milk
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1/2 cup Almonds
• 1 cup Cherry sauce

Steps

1. Simmer the rice in the milk 35 minutes until completely tender and thick; chill fully.
2. Whip the cream with sugar and vanilla to soft peaks and fold through the cold rice.
3. Hide one whole blanched almond in the bowl — whoever finds it wins the almond gift.
4. Serve with warm cherry sauce; risalamande is Christmas Eve dessert across Denmark.
5. Hide the whole almond well — the finder gets the almond gift, and the hunt is half the fun.
