Risalamande (Christmas Rice Pudding) · Aarhus
Cold rice pudding mixed with whipped cream, sugar and vanilla, served with a warm cherry sauce. A whole almond is hidden in the communal bowl; whoever finds it in their serving receives a gift.
Risalamande is an adaptation of the French riz a l'amande introduced to Danish cuisine in the 19th century. The tradition of hiding the whole almond is uniquely Danish and dates to the same period. The cold pudding contrasts with the warm cherry sauce in a way that is considered the defining flavour of Danish Christmas.
