Awesome Lene, wishing you a God Jul:-)

I have to make a huge bowl of this. About 4 liters of milk. I bring the milk to almost boil, add rice, bring temperature back and them put the pot into the oven at the lowest temperature.
In the old days, the pot was wrapped in blankets and put to bed.
We love the almond flavour but not the crunch so use almond extract.
We enjoy it Christmas Eve but have it for breakfast Christmas day.

Awesome, I never won the pig so didn’t get to see it up close. I saw my mum today and told her about the families where each child was given an almond in their portion and how I felt short changed by my Danish relatives LOL:-)

The person who gets the whole almond wins a prize. Like the lucky sixpence in Christmas pudding

I assume someone had the idea one day and that it caught on as almonds are an ingredient. Just like the Advent Candle was a Danish invention:-)

Thanks Mette, have a very Merry Christmas too:-)

Looks like a real Danish ris a la mande – so delicious. I can recommend to add a vanilla pod to the rice and milk from the start when you cook it. Wish you a merry Christmas – and thanks, you’re blog is always such an inspiration to me.

Thank you Janice, have a very Merry Christmas too! xx

What a lovely tradition to share with your family. It looks so delicious Merry Christmas.

Thanks Amy, it really is:-)

Bet this is delicious x

Aaw, just me who never won the almond then LOL:-) Do love Risalamande and usually rely on my mum to make it:-)

Oh yay I love Risalamande 😀 and I loved reading about your Danish traditions and your childhood memories. In our family we also play the almond game in our family! I used to love it when I got it and my sisters where green with envy! Hehe #beinspired

Thanks:-) I’ve never liked rice pudding and didn’t like this either as a child but I love it now:-)

Fabulous Ursula, so glad to hear that:-)

Well it’s traditionally a Christmas dish but if you’d like it in summer then who am I to argue:-)

That cherry sauce looks absolutely delicious and a gorgeous colour

It really is Heather:-)

It’s well worth the effort:-)

Aaw, how lovely of you to say. When I was 18 that was my ambition to be a cookery book writer but blogs didn’t exist back then so I’m making up for lost time doing this now:-) Authors need to be “showmen” too these days, gone are the days of the reclusive writer so I’m not sure that’s me LOL:-)

Oh fabulous – so glad you enjoyed it. I’m sure raspberries equally good:-)

Thanks Jacqueline – I beat you to it and left a comment in the small hours LOL:-)

Fab:-)

Thank you:-)

This is like a super pimped up rice pudding and nothing like the usual rice pudding – I’m sure she’d love it:-) I must admit I never usually make ordinary rice pudding but buy the odd tin for hubby – shocking I know but it just doesn’t get me excited, must make more effort as I have the rest of the pudding rice to use up now!

Thank you:-)

It really is:-)

Yes there can’t be a Dane who doesn’t like this pudding:-) Hope you manage to give it a go:-)

Thanks – enjoy:-)
