Danish Christmas Rice Pudding

Recipe #94163 | 3¼ hours | 15 min prep | add private note

My mom and grandma use to make this every Christmas or special holiday, but it had to be extra special. This is a great dessert that keeps those great memories close by. This is an old recipe so keep in mind that not everything is exact. Use your own discretion when baking. 1/2 cup of packed rasins can be added to this dish, but I prefer it plain and served warm with whipped cream.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. 2
    Put milk, eggs, rice, sugar and salt into baking dish (nice glass cooking bowl or dish) and place in a hot water bath.
  3. 3
    At the top of custard, add a few dashes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Add vanilla bean (if using) and cinnamon stick.
  4. 4
    Cover and cook 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove vanilla bean and cinnamon stick after one hour of cooking. Pudding is done when rice is soft and custard is set (a slight jiggle).
  5. 5
    Remove lid for the last 10 minutes of cooking to give a light golden color.
  6. 6
    Put an almond in the rice pudding just before serving: According to the old Danish legend, whoever finds the almond at Christmas will have series of lucky adventures.
  7. 7
    Serve warm or cold with whipped cream.

    I made this with the vanilla bean and cinnamon stick. I found that it did not give enough flavor leaving them in for only an hour so next time I will leave them in longer. I also expected something sweeter and with more rice so I will increase the sweetner and rice the next time I make it. On the whole though it had exactly the creaminess and consistency that I was looking for.
