set aside to cool. In a bowl whip cream until stiff;
stir in vanilla. Stir whipped cream, sugar and
chopped almonds into the cooled rice. Refrigerate

Some people like the cherry sauce served hot
with the rice pudding. In Denmark the tradition is to
include 1 whole almond in the rice pudding. And the
person to find it wins the prize ~ commonly a cute &
tasty marzipan pig!
