Risalamande with a twist - Perfect Sunday Dessert





A traditional Christmas Danish recipe, risalamande is a delicious alternative to rice pudding by mixing in more flavour and taste. It's quick to prepare and you'll enjoy it for a couple of days at least. Here's what you need:


Ingredients:

  • 100g rice
  • 700ml milk
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 50g ground almonds
  • 200ml double cream
  • 1 vanilla pod or 1tsp vanilla extract
  • caramelised fruit 



It all starts very simple and you'll be done by no time: gently bring the milk to a boil then add the rice and let it continue boiling for about 40-45 minutes on a medium heat. Frequently stir the mixture for it not to get burned and once it's done, allow to cool for at least half an hour. Mix the rice with the almonds and then add the sugar and vanilla extract/vanilla pod seeds. Whisk the cream and gently mix it with the rice. Serve with caramelised fruit on top: simply chop the fruits of your choice - apples, pears, peaches etc - throw in a pan with 1tbsp of butter + 4 tbsp of sugar. Allow to caramelise for a few minutes then add 30ml of orange juice and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle some cinnamon on top and you're all done. Enjoy!


Bon Appetit!
