Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Pudding works really well with Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry

Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "

Instructions

  1. Wash the rice with cold water several times. Until the water is clear.
  2. In a heavy bottom pot, add the rice and 5 cups water. Bring to a boil.
  3. It is recommended that you skim the foam off the top as it rises.
  4. Cover and let it simmer on medium heat for about a half hour.
  5. Once the rice has softened, add 2 more cups of water and the sugar.
  6. Cover and cook for 30 more minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the sugary rice is not sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  7. Add the almonds, saffron water, butter, cardamom powder, and rose water.
  8. Mix and cover on low heat for another half hour.
  9. Check to see if it has become thick.
  10. Remove lid and on low heat cook until the mixture becomes pudding-like.
  11. At this point, you can ladle some either into individual heat resistance dishes or into a larger serving dish.
  12. Decorate.
  13. Cool in fridge and serve cold.
