This is one of my favorite Christmas time desserts from my childhood, and I still make it every year. I love to serve it with cold red sauce, made with strawberries, or with fresh berries if they are available, or sometimes with both. But it can also be served with other sauces, raspberry, cherry, plum, etc.
In Finland, where I come from, on traditional Christmas Eve lunch, it is often served rice porridge, and then the leftovers from the porridge are used for this dessert. Convenient and quick,  when the porridge is ready.  And so sinfully delicious...
~ Cheers!


Rice porridge
2 dl / 7 oz water
2 dl    / 7 oz short grain rice
1L / 2 pint whole milk
0,5 tsp salt

Boil water in a tri-ply saucepan or coated steel boiler (Teflon). Add the rice. Let it boil until the water is absorbed into the rice, approx. 5 min.
Add the milk gradually in small quantities such that the mixture remains constantly boiling. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring the porridge with a wooden spoon constantly all the way to the bottom of the pan. Cover the saucepan with a  lid and lift off the hot plate. Allow to stew until done approx. 45 min. Add salt.
If you have a slow cooker available, it would be perfect to prepare rice porridge, and would make it much easier on you!

3 dl / 10 oz  whipping cream
1 TBSP sugar
1 tsp vanilla

dash of real lemon juice (If you only have bottled lemon juice, rather leave it out)
