Risalamande

Risalamande is a Danish Christmas dessert consisting of rice pudding, whipped cream, almonds, and cherry sauce. It is super easy to make and tastes fantastic after a good Christmas dinner. Ideally, make the rice pudding the day before, so it is completely cold when you need it. You can, for instance, make a large portion of rice pudding for dinner and save some for the risalamande the next day. If you don't have a vanilla pod, you can substitute with 5 tablespoons of vanilla sugar instead.
