10 Traditional Holiday Desserts From Around the World

Danish risalamande

Danish risalamande

A popular holiday dish served by the Danish, this risalamande recipe featured on Savory Chicks is noted as taking a little bit of time to make, but is well worth the effort. Translating into English as “rice with almonds,” this sweet dessert has a similar texture to that of risotto or rice pudding, though it features whipped cream, short-grain rice, chopped almonds and one whole almond included. And, if you’re keeping with tradition: The guest who finds the whole almond in his or her bowl is rewarded with a small gift.
