How to Make White Chocolate Rice Pudding Cherries And Almonds

  1. **Prepare the Rice Pudding:** In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 4 cups whole milk, 1 cup Arborio rice, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the rice is tender, about 1 hour. Reduce heat to low.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks and ¼ cup heavy cream.
  4. Gradually whisk ½ cup of the warm rice mixture into the egg yolks to temper them.
  5. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining rice mixture.
  6. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, ensuring the mixture does not boil.
  7. Remove from heat. Stir in 6 ounces of finely chopped white chocolate until melted and smooth. Add the zest of 1 orange and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Transfer the pudding to a large bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator until completely cold.
  9. **Make the Raspberry Sauce:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup raspberry preserves (or apricot preserves) and 1 tablespoon water. Simmer over low heat until warmed through. Add 1 teaspoon Kirsch (optional).
  10. **Toast the Almonds:** Toast ½ cup sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant.
  11. **Assemble the Dessert:** Serve the chilled rice pudding in bowls or elegant glasses. Top with warm raspberry sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, and toasted almonds.
  12. Enjoy your delicious and beautifully presented White Chocolate Raspberry Rice Pudding!
