Riskrem is a traditional Norwegian dessert that is often served during the Christmas season. It is a creamy rice pudding that is flavored with almond extract and studded with chopped almonds. The dessert is typically served cold and topped with a berry sauce or fresh berries. Riskrem can be made with leftover rice, which makes it a thrifty and tasty way to use up extra ingredients.

4.	Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
5.	Fold in the whipped cream and chopped almonds and refrigerate until cold.
