Risalamande

Risalamande is a traditional Danish dessert served at Christmas dinner and julefrokost (Christmas lunch). It is made of rice pudding mixed with whipped cream, sugar, vanilla, and chopped almonds. It is served cold with either warm or cold cherry sauce (kirsebærsovs). The name is based on French riz à l'amande meaning 'rice with almonds', although the dessert has a Danish origin. Today risalamande is the spelling documented by the Danish Language Council. According to a rumor, the invention of risalamande came about when a French cook or chef at the Hotel d'Angleterre in Copenhagen had to improvise a dessert.
