White Chocolate Rice Pudding With Cherries Jubilee And Sliced Almonds Food

WHITE CHOCOLATE RICE PUDDING, CHERRIES AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• RICE PUDDING:.
• Combine milk, arborio rice, sugar, vanilla & salt, in a heavy, large saucepan.
• Cook over medium-low heat until mixture thickens and rice is tender, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
• Reduce heat to low.
• Whisk egg yolks and cream together in a small bowl.
• Gradually whisk 1/2 cup rice mixtures into egg mixture(to temper); return mixture to the saucepan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly; DO NOT LET BOIL.
• Remove from the heat.
• Add white chocolate and stir until melted.
• Stir in the orange zest(if using) and cinnamon.
• Transfer pudding to a large bowl, cover, and chill until cold. (Cover with plastic wrap touching the pudding, so skin doesn't form).
• WARM CHERRY SAUCE:.
• Bring preserves and cinnamon to a simmer in a medium saucepan over low heat, add the kirsch(or other liqeuer, if using other fruit preserves).
• Carefully ignite with a long match or just warm through(I think the latter is safer, at home).
• ASSEMBLING THE PUDDING:.
• Serve pudding in bowls or large goblets with Warm Cherry Sauce, whipped cream, and toasted almonds on top, or layer in parfait glasses.
• Either way it will look lovely and taste even better.
• Enjoy!
