Christmas in Denmark

In Denmark where Klaus is coming from, Christmas is celebrated on the evening of the 24th of December. This is when we have the big Christmas dinner and the parcels!

christmas picture The traditional dessert for Christmas dinner is Risalamande. It is very easy to make and tastes great!

You need 100 g cold rice pudding, 250 ml whipping cream, 100 g sliced almonds and a little port vine. Whip the cream and mix all ingredience. Use the port wine to enhance its taste. Serve it chilled with different types of jam as a "sauce". I prefer strawberry and blackberry!

In the big bowl of Risalamande there will be one hole almond hidden. The one that finds it gets an extra parcel - my mother always cheats, we all get a small home made parcel each year ...
