How to Make Danish Christmas Rice Pudding

[@stephenleonchase6929]

This dude is a good addition to Munchies

[@girthbrooks39]

Why would you say that?!?!

[@jarLEGGO]

I like this dude. More videos from him please. He cool.

[@GrafEnsker]

you can absolutly not use any type of almond. You can use chopped or diced, but never multiple complete almonds. There is a game about who finds the one complete almond, so there can only be one

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

"There can be only one!"

[@wolfsbane1991]

Hyped to see a Danish recipe and traditional Danish decorations! Also, TRUTH in regards to stirring all the time. The rice will burn the SECOND you look away. In my familys recipe, we add the rice when the milk starts boiling. Milk takes ages to bring to a boil, and my grandma always says that milk doesn't start boiling until you turn your back away lol..

[@iamheretopleaseyou]

Just imagine how he could act and be like if you just say "I am former head pastry chef at the French Laundry, Amass, and Noma - one of the best restaurants of the world" but no, Milton is basically an OG of baking given to his resume but is still extremely humble. What a pleasure to watch this!

[@InCarinasKitchen]

This is a very fancy version of risalamande. I'm sure it tasted great, but what I want to know is, who won the mandelgave?!

[@EricSorensenCanada]

I did 🙂 A beautiful Marzipan Pig 🐷

[@havosstuff]

More Milton please, dude is a gem

[@MrSleepycats]

You forgot the most important part of risalamande. 1 Whole almond! Without it noone is ever gonna get the "mandel gave"!

[@nikolajl9035]

It is actually right there in the almond bowl at the beginning of the video. I guess they just cut out the part where he explains it.

[@simonbruus29]

I like that Munchies is showing off the Danish kitchen, and I really like this dude. But my grandma wouldn't approve of this recipe 😂

[@Astrix321]

haha so true, lemon cest and cheese in ris ala mande? no way

[@lavishlyDecorated]

Indeed. He'd never be invited to another Thorsfejde.

[@TheBekker_]

Same thought :D

[@_Subject_Delta_]

As a fellow Dane, I consider this recipe pure heresy. Cream cheese? Lemon cest? Heresy!!!

[@mannagrynet]

it's a modern take, seems good at least, but not traditional. I wish that people showed the traditional recipe for non-American things like this and then gave tips on how you can change it up to suit your tastes.

[@jeenyus720]

I was hanging with some scandinavian folks the other day and hes right about the skål thing. Probably did it 30 times throughout the night.

[@Khazandar]

This is not traditional, but a damn fine recipe nonetheless.

[@TheSinze1305]

As a Dane, the fact that he adds stuff like CREAM CHEESE and lemon... it breaks my heart. And kinda confuses me too

[@Soli11]

Why? He is simply trying new things, he even mentioned the personal twist. I think it looked delicious. While I will continue to make it my own way, I do not mind someone else trying to "spice" the old recipe up a bit.

[@SameOneDenmark]

conservatism never got anyone anywhere. learn to play 3k scrub

[@TheSinze1305]

@@Soli11 Well, I can totally get on the track about "adding a twist". But there is a difference between spicing it up, and then making up a completly new dish

[@lhl2500]

Agreed, this is HIS rice pudding, not Risalamande.

[@helenetrstrup4817]

At around a minute and a half in I looked at his ingredients and thought to myself: "He is using about twice as many ingredients as I would" As a fellow Dane, I agree with you. This is rice pudding with a little bit more than just a twist. It could, to some extent, be compared to an Italian's opinion of putting pineapple on pizza.

[@jcn84256]

Milton is awesome! I'm loving this series in Denmark

[@NeuroHead]

I have never been a huge fan of rice pudding cause it such a rich thing to have after a big Christmas dinner but i gotta say that this version looks pretty amazing. Very luxurious .

[@laiverebasaga5655]

Hurray!!! An American that uses metric system......👍 keep up the good work Milton. Much love from Fiji 🇫🇯!!!

[@IITONEII]

I’m danish and I’ll definitely try this at some point! I would love to see more with Milton!

[@thomasr5121]

I was born and raised in Denmark, never has my mom or any of my family members used any type of cheese in the Risalamande, sacrilege!

[@Rakii27]

My man Milton.. What a respectful Risalamande.. I loved the extra touch with the creamcheese and the citrusfruits zests. And what a good way to cook your Risengrød aswell, less chance of it burning, and you can look like a baws while your stirring it. Keep this man coming Munchies..

[@wearelegion1163]

I lived in Copenhagen for a year & this was one of my favorites. 😋

[@rlhoy33]

Helllll yeah I love this guy

[@glitterypieceofmind]

I absolutely love this. Love watching foreigners speak Danish lol (you did great!) and I like the spices he added. If I could have creme cheese I'm sure it would be good but unfortunately I can't have dairy, so I'm stuck with what's available as a plant based substitute. I don't think we have vegan creme cheese, at least not one suited for this

[@potatoghetto]

We eat this in Norway too, man this stuff Is crack!!

[@Acaerwen]

I think we have variations of this dish all over Scandinavia. In Norway we have "riskrem" - rice cream which is basically the same thing, without the spices and zest. Rice porridge with whipped cream. Only that we eat it as a contest as we have hidden an almond without it's skin in the rice cream. Normally it's eaten at "lillejulaften", the day before Christmas Eve. As we celebrate Christmas on the 24th. But my family eats it at Christmas Eve as a dessert. Reasons

[@toen1939]

Well, Ris a lá Mande is actually a quite recent thing. The more traditional option, still observed in some families, would be Risengrød - which is basically the rice pudding you start out with. But it would be served warm, with sugar, cinnamon, and a bit of melted butter, and served as a starter rather than a dessert. I like both; but for Christmas I prefer the latter (drinking dark sweetened beer "nisseøl" with it).

[@ciasa9488]

Blasphemy is what this is. Pure and simple. Cinnamon in risalamande? And cream cheese? Oranges and lemons? What is this sorcery??

[@Hugo-zi8nw]

[@Eiram1300]

[@shirrepoffer]

We eat a similar dessert here in Sweden but instead of cherries we have peeled oranges in it (and a bit of orange juice I think). I don't know about the almonds though. I eat it without them. It's super good!

[@HandlesAreSlightlyIrritating]

We have a less fancy version of this in Germany and it’s called „Milchreis“ which literally means „milk rice“. We eat it with either cinnamon sugar, apfel mus (its like a jam?) or maybe canned peaches or something. Super good 👍🏻

[@marlenedietrich2468]

Danish risalamande isn't at all as fancy as he makes it. But we also have to versions, if it's just rice and milk it's called risengrød, and if you cool it down, mix in the almonds and whipped cream it's called risalamande

[@marlenedietrich2468]

I forgot to mention that we eat the risengrød with cinnamon sugar too so sounds like it might be the same thing

[@Jeromez]

Best thing about being danish

[@Luka1180]

THANK YOU. Next do a whole Danish Christma dinner, with roast duck (and maybe goose too?), roast pork with crackling attached, sugar-browned potatoes, red cabbage, prunes, and of course the traditional Christmas rice porridge with butter and cinnamon sugar. What you made here is closer to risalamande, which is a cold rice porridge, has chopped almonds and whipped cream (this bit you added! :D ). I wish you had made the traditional version first, then introduced your own take afterwards. Making the video longer would probably also garner more views, 'cause that's how KZbin works these days. And then after that a good old Christmas lunch. All the herring man, all the herring ^.^

[@marlenedietrich2468]

no spices in the milk, no lemon og orange cest, use a specific rice called 'gread rice' (idk the English word, but it has bigger grains and is softer than normal rice) edit: no cream cheese either, it's really just milk, rice, whipped cream and almonds (plus the additional cherry sauce)

[@---nk4mk]

Recipe?

[@marlenedietrich2468]

It looks really good but wouldn't say it's a very traditional risalamande, you're supposed to use gread rice, all the 'milk goes in a bit at a time' isn't needed at all. You also need more almonds and they don't go on top but need to be properly mixed in, since there's an unchopped almond hidden among the others which results in a price to the finder.

[@Xziznoel]

he fcked it up

[@schuegrafma]

Risalmande probably comes from ris and almande, so German rice. Here in Germany we have something very similar called Milchreis, or milk rice. Or, you know, I could be completely wrong haha
