Risalamande (also spelled as ''ris à l'amande'' and other variants, though ''risalamande'' is the only spelling authorized by Dansk Sprognævn;〔(Den Danske Ordbog, ''risalamande'' entry ). Retrieved 25 December 2010.〕 from pseudo-French ''riz à l'amande'' meaning "rice in the style with almonds"), is a traditional Danish dessert typically served at Christmas. Risalamande was created in the last part of the 19th century. It is made out of rice pudding mixed with whipped cream, vanilla, and chopped almonds; and is usually served cold with a cherry sauce (''kirsebærsauce''). It gained popularity when rice pudding became more common. Until then rice pudding had been a very exclusive dish, as making it required two expensive, imported ingredients: rice and cinnamon. After World War II, risalamande experienced an increase in popularity, being touted as a "savings" dessert: adding whipped cream (which was easily available) to the still fairly expensive rice would make the rice last longer. In order to minimize costs, risalamande was frequently made without almonds during this time, too. A similar traditional Danish Christmas dish, risengrød, is essentially risalamande before the whipped cream, vanilla, and almonds have been added, and is typically served hot, topped with cinnamon and butter. Nowadays, it is very common to make a large batch of rice pudding for dinner on ''lillejuleaften'' ("Little Christmas Eve", i.e. December 23), a part of which is kept until Christmas Eve and used to make risalamande, which is eaten as dessert after the big Christmas dinner. Normally, a whole almond is added to the dessert, and the person who finds it wins a small prize — such as a chocolate heart, a marzipan pig, or a small board game.〔(Danish Christmas Traditions ). Retrieved 25 July 2009.〕 Part of the game involves the finder concealing his discovery as long as possible, so that the rest of the company is forced to eat the entire dish of risalamande, even after they have already devoured a large Christmas dinner. ==In Sweden and Norway== :''Read more at Rice pudding#Nordic countries'' In Sweden, this dish is called ''ris à la Malta'', which is a corruption of the Danish name. Typically it's made of chilled left-over rice pudding, whipped cream, sugar and vanilla, with or without almonds. A variety containing diced oranges is called ''apelsinris''. The dish is mostly served with either a smooth cordial-sauce or jam. Ris à la Malta is commercially sold as a snack under the name "Risifrutti" since 1992.〔http://www.risifrutti.com/?id=161〕 Norwegians have a similar dish called ''riskrem'' (“rice cream”), and like in Denmark the person finding a hidden almond in the dessert wins a ''mandelgave'' (almond-gift) in form of a marzipan pig or the like. The dessert may contain almonds for flavour, but mostly chopped on top as decoration. In Norway, the sauce is also normally made of raspberry (or even strawberry) rather than cherry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「risalamande」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
