This is a classic Christmas dessert of a rice porridge base mixed with almonds, sugar, vanilla and whipping cream. Traditionally a whole almond is inserted into the pudding and whoever finds this on Christmas day is given a gift (typically a marzipan pig or a box of chocolates).

Ingredients:

1/3 batch Risengrød (Rice Porridge)
45g blanched almonds
2 tbsp granulated sugar
seeds from 1 split vanilla pod
400ml whipping cream
cherry sauce or red fruit sauce, to accompany

Method:

Reserve 1 whole almond to insert in the final pudding. Finely chop the remaining almonds and mix with the rice porridge then stir in the sugar and vanilla seeds.

Whip the cream until stiff then fold into the rice mixture. Pour this into a serving bowl, cover with clingfilm and set in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

Just before serving, insert the reserved almonds into the pudding. Serve accompanied by warm cherry sauce (or other red fruit sauce).
