Tip

Risalamande (also spelled as ris a la mande or ris à l'amande meaning "rice with almonds") is a traditional Danish dessert typically served at Christmas.

Risalamande was created in the last part of the 19th century. It is made out of rice pudding mixed with whipped cream, vanilla, and chopped almonds; and is usually served cold with a cherry sauce (kirsebærsauce).

It is very common to make a large batch of rice pudding for dinner on lillejuleaften ("Little Christmas Eve", i.e. December 23rd), a part of which is kept until Christmas Eve and used to make risalamande, which is eaten as dessert after the big Christmas Dinner.

Normally there is one whole almond in the dessert, and the person who finds it wins a special prize - perhaps a chocolate heart. Part of the game involves the finder concealing his discovery as long as possible, so that the rest of the company is forced to eat the entire dish of risalamande, even after they have already devoured a large Christmas Dinner.

    I was very happily surprised to see that there was a ris a l'amande recipe for the thermomix and I had to try it out. I was born in Denmark and came to Australia when I was 32 so I've made this dessert many times.

    I've tried this recipe with normal milk and homemade almond milk, the normal milk wins. I had to cook the rice for longer to get the rice soft. I always use almond meal so there's no mistake that the person get the whole "real" almond to be able to get the prize.

    It's so much easier to make this dessert in the Thermomix and I have to make 3 portions this year.

    Delicious, Thanks for this one, all the Danes in the family were overjoyed and we all happily cleaned out the bowl. Slightly more cream than necessary unless you like it super-creamy tmrc_emoticons.)  Made the rice part two days ahead stored in fridge until day of feast then enriched that morning!
