Photo: White Chocolate Rice Pudding with Cherries Jubilee and Sliced Almonds Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2/3 cup long-grain white rice
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons whipping cream
- 4 ounces good-quality white chocolate (recommended: Lindt or Valrhona), chopped
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Warm Cherry Sauce, recipe follows
- Whipped cream, for garnish, optional
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted, for garnish
Directions
Combine first 5 ingredients in a heavy, large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture thickens and rice is very 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 mixture into egg mixture; 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 and cinnamon. Transfer pudding to a large bowl, cover, and chill until cold. Serve in bowls or large goblets with Warm Cherry Sauce, whipped cream, and toasted almonds on top, or layer in parfait glasses.
Warm Cherry Sauce:
- 1 cup cherry preserves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons kirsch (cherry brandy)
Bring preserves and cinnamon to a simmer in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat, add the kirsch, and carefully ignite with a long match or just warm through.

It was an awesome recipe. I made it without the topping. Instead of putting 4 ounces of chocolate chips I put 2 ounces. It was perfect. Not too sweet. Nice and creamy.

This is a very tasty pudding.. But we had to make some changes because of diet restrictions.. The sauce is very good but if you have other cherry products you can make one from them. Keeps weel in fridg. for several days covered.. And if you want.. you can make it with sugar sub. Try it you will love it And I didn't think I would like rice pudding.

this was an interesting diversion from the typical rustic rice pudding i usually make. the orange peel was quite lovely in the pudding, but after adding the white chocolate, the pudding became too sweet. (however, i tasted the pudding right "before" adding the chocolate and loved it! i would suggest halving the amount of white chocolate for a touch a flavor w/o the extra sweetness. obviously did not use the cherry preserves as that would definitely be overkill.
