How to Make Danish Christmas Rice Pudding With Almonds And Warm Cherry Sauce
- Split one vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 4 cups whole milk and the vanilla bean seeds and pod.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup Arborio rice, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- Increase heat to medium and bring back to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to very low, cover, and simmer for approximately 1 hour, or until rice is cooked through and creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream and 1/4 cup slivered almonds into the cooled rice pudding.
- Add more sugar or almonds to taste.
- **Now, prepare the warm cherry sauce:** Place 2 cups frozen sour cherries (or 3 cups fresh cherries, pitted) in a medium saucepan.
- Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 1/2 cups water.
- Add the used vanilla pod from the rice pudding.
- Simmer over medium heat until cherries are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon potato starch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
- Bring the cherry mixture to a boil.
- Remove the vanilla pod.
- Reduce heat to low and slowly whisk in the potato starch slurry, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly (about 2 minutes).
- Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Serve the rice pudding warm, topped with the warm cherry sauce.
- Garnish with a fresh mint leaf (optional).
