4 parts full fat milk (or 1 part cream and 3 parts low fat milk)
1/2 teaspoon salt per part rice
Ground cinnamon, sugar, butter for topping
Parts are by volume, not weight.
How to:
Boil water and rice in a bigger pot than you think you need, until no more water is visible. Stir vigorously
Add all your milk and bring to a boil while stirring
Turn down to a low simmer. Keep stirring until it doesn't bubble while you stir.
Lid on
For the next 30-40 minutes you will stir the pot every 3-5 minutes so it doesn't burn
When it has thickened you add salt to taste, but minimum of 1/2 teaspoon per parts rice
Serve in bowls with cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on top and a dollop of butter
Also good with applesauce and cinnamon and sugar.
Risalamande, a Christmas dessert:
Also, this is a sort of game
Ingredients: 4-6 people
Cold rice pudding from 1/2 L milk, no salt in it.
1/4 L Whipping cream
Seeds from 1 vanilla pod
1-2 tablespoons sugar
50 g peeled almonds
Zest from 1 lemon (optional)
Cherry sauce, warmed (can be bought or made, recipe under this one)
How to:
Make rice pudding, but do not put salt in it. You can also simmer the vanilla pod in the rice pudding for a more intense vanilla flavor.
Set to cool completely in fridge
Peel a bunch of almonds. Chop to different sizes but leave one whole. Put some in there that are almost whole :b
Whip whipping cream to soft peaks
Stir vanilla, sugar and chopped almonds into the rice pudding. And lemon zest if that's your thing
Stir in 1/3 of the cream
Gently fold in the rest of the cream and the whole almond. You don't need all the cream if you want it more firm, so stop when it has reached a good consistency.
Adjust flavor with sugar
Serve with warm cherry sauce
This is just a guideline, do whatever you want with it. Just has to have vanilla and whipped cream and almonds
Cherry sauce:
Ingredients:
1 glas canned sweet cherries with juice (370-ish g with juice)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
Lemon juice (optional)
How to:
Remove 1/2 dL of the juice for making slurry
Boil the cherries and rest of juice with sugar
Stir cornstarch into the bit of juice you didn't boil
Add slurry to pot and simmer 3 minutes while stirring occasionally
Adjust to taste with sugar or lemon
Rules for the game of risalamande:
Each person gets a portion of the risalamande, with or without cherries, but the cherries do be really good.
Eat carefully so as not to bite on the whole almond
Be cheeky and hide the whole almond in your cheek if you get it. Or not if people are already very full from the big dinner, as you eat until the almond has been found.
Whoever has the almond has won and is given the "almond gift", a small present that preferably no one knows what is. Usually it's a box of chocolates or a silly Christmas decoration or a cup that says "almond gift [year]" and has christmassy decorations.
Alternatively you can add a whole bunch of whole almonds and then the winner is whoever has the most almonds at the end. But! Do not tell them that from the start of the game. Tell them the rules as stated above and see the confusion when the first person gets a second whole almond :]
#Risalamande - #Danish Rice Pudding 🍚 Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes, Servings: 8 The #tradition is to serve all of the rice pudding & whoever gets the whole almond wins a #prize. If you're the one who finds the almond, you're supposed to tuck it in your cheek or hide it so no one knows it's been found. That way everyone is forced to eat all the rice #pudding in the entire house thinking the almond might still be available to be found. Ingredients: -1 cup white #rice (long grain or #arborio) -6 cups whole #milk -¼ cup sugar -1 pinch salt -1 cup almonds (chopped, blanched) -1 #almond (whole) -1.5 cups whipping cream -2 tablespoon #sugar -1 bean #vanilla -Scotch Bonnet #Cherry #Jelly Instructions: 1. Add rice, milk, sugar, & a pinch of salt to the pot & heat until small bubbles start to form around the edge of the pot. 2. Stir occasionally. 3. Once #bubbles form, cover the pot with a lid & #simmer for about 1 hour until the rice is soft. 4. Remove from heat & add in chopped almonds & 1 whole almond. Allow it to cool. 5. Whip 1.5 cups of whipping cream. Once it starts to thicken, add the sugar. 6. Once whipped, gently stir in the seeds from one whole vanilla bean. 7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the rice pudding. Serve in bowls or cups, topped with the warm Scotch Bonnet Cherry Jelly. Note: If you simmer your rice & milk mixture too long it'll get very stiff & solid after it has cooled. This is normal, just add a bit of milk to loosen it up if you want, but the whipping cream will do all the loosening you need really. This is all done to taste. If you like a sweeter rice pudding, add more sugar. Ditto for the Scotch Bonnet Cherry Jelly. https://store.jpsdelights.com/risalamande-danish-rice-pudding https://www.instagram.com/p/CnH2ZPZJiqg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
