Last updated on January 23rd, 2019

I began documenting my culinary creations by posting photos on Facebook of the food I whipped up in my kitchen each night. It seems people want to know the recipes I use, adapt, and invent while embarking on my cooking adventures. To begin, I will post my past creations and their accompanying stories and recipes.

I love tradition. And rice pudding has become a tradition in my family. Christmas at Nana and Papa’s always involved the suspense-filled distribution of bowls of rice pudding. As Danish tradition holds, one lucky bowl contained an almond (pronounced in almond country as: am-uhnd). The person who felt the crunch of a nut as they devoured their pudding received a nut gift and was also privileged with wearing an elf hat while passing out the rest of the gifts. We haven’t spent every Christmas at Nana and Papa’s, but I’ve always loved this tradition. As an added bonus, I have an uncontrollable sweet tooth. Last year, I decided to make rice pudding my NYE tradition, bestowing upon the nut winner some sort of chocolatey prize (despite the fact that I do not enjoy chocolate all that much). My favorite part is having leftovers to feast on for the rest of the week.

Rice pudding with raspberry sauce

Yield: 8 servings
Prep Time: 12 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Additional Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 2 hours 12 minutes

This traditional Danish rice pudding is the perfect holiday dessert. Serve chilled with a sweet raspberry sauce on top and hide a nut inside one bowl. In our family, the person who finds the nut gets to wear the Elf hat and pass out gifts!

Ingredients

Rice Pudding

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice (I use short grain, but it also works with medium or long grain rice)
  • 1 quart whole milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sherry
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted (more or less depending on sweet tooth:)
  • 1 almond

Raspberry Sauce

  • 10 oz. package of frozen red raspberries, sweetened
  • 1½ teaspoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup currant jelly

Instructions

Rice Pudding

  1. Heat water to boiling in medium saucepan. Add rice and cook for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
  2. Bring milk and salt to boil in medium saucepan.
  3. Stir in drained rice and lower heat. Simmer uncovered, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.
  4. Cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes, or until milk is almost absorbed and rice is tender and creamy. Crack the lid about half way through cooking to let some moisture out - be careful not to scorch bottom of pan.
  5. Stir in sugar, sherry and vanilla. Chill for at least an hour until cold.
  6. Meanwhile prepare the raspberry sauce as below.
  7. Just before serving, prepare the whipped cream. Using an electric mixer or by hand, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. About halfway through, add powdered sugar to taste and if desired, an extra dash of vanilla extract. Fold whipped cream into pudding
  8. Hide an almond in one bowl and mix the bowls. Spoon raspberry sauce over the top and have someone else serve.

Raspberry Sauce

  1. Thaw and crush raspberries in blender or food processor.
  2. Add cornstarch and currant jelly.
  3. In medium saucepan, bring to boil.
  4. Cook, stirring constantly, until clear and slightly thickened. Chill until cool.
  5. Serve on top of Rice Pudding.

Halfway through my full-day video shoot for @castr Halfway through my full-day video shoot for @castrawberries today, I learned it was #nationalstrawberryday - what timing! I’ve currently got 10lbs of strawberries in my fridge and my kids are stoked for strawberry season. I shot a video and some photos of @tutti_dolci’s strawberry slab pie for @castrawberries last year - get the recipe for this pie on their site! For GF, sub in the pie crust from my gluten-free triple berry pie - linked in profile! #strawberrypie

{New} Gluten-free lemon drizzle cake, in partnersh {New} Gluten-free lemon drizzle cake, in partnership with @bobsredmill! This bright lemony loaf cake is the little black dress of cakes. Baking cake in a loaf pan instantly brings it into “suitable for breakfast” territory. Adding the crunchy lemon glaze shell makes it sweet enough to be the perfect dessert or snack cake. 
•
And this glaze, y’all. 😻 I used Mary Berry’s technique of applying the lemon sugar drizzle while the cake is warm so it hardens into crunchy icing that crackles as you slice it, making the crust quite possibly the best part. 
•
This cake comes together with four flavorful flours: almond, gluten-free oat, sweet rice, and tapioca. Get the recipe along with my substitution recommendations on the blog - link in my profile @snixykitchen! #lemondrizzlecake #glutenfreecake #bakedwithbobs #betterwithbobs #bobsredmill #ad

Ricotta toast with crispy pan-fried maitake mushro Ricotta toast with crispy pan-fried maitake mushrooms and flaky salt – sharing my go-to lunch in collaboration with @goodeggs. My neighbor and I meal plan on Saturday nights then place a delivery order together from Good Eggs and honestly, it’s the highlight of my week. What I miss most about going to the grocery store regularly was choosing from a vast selection of fresh local produce varieties from specific farms. Once we started this Good Eggs weekly tradition a few months ago, I was able to do that again, and still get all my go-to pantry staples. But now all in one place. From my couch. Swipe to see a sampling of what I got in my box this week! Among many other things, we both always order: whole milk basket ricotta from @bellwetherfarms and A LOT of maitake mushrooms from @mycopiamushrooms. Then we take turns delivering variations of this toast to each other – add flaky salt, herbs, greens, garlic, nuts, carrot spread, romesco – go wild!

She amazes me every single day with her ideas, kindness, and curiosity. Swipe to see her from 2 days to 5 years - I’m not crying, you’re crying.

For our fam celebration, I baked a single family serving of this perfect gluten-free chocolate cake as a 6-inch layer cake. See a picture of her cake in my stories and get the link in my profile! I used 1/3 of the recipe and baked it in two 6-inch rounds. #chocolatecake #glutenfreecake

Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. This cookie marks the shifting of micro-seasons from Holiday Winter to New Year Winter (TM). It's a subtle change, one mostly perceivable in the baked goods coming out of each, but one that I believe should be celebrated with plenty cookies (both before and after the seasonal shift). 
•
So here are are, firmly in the land of backyard citrus, so I’m making all the lemon desserts. These cookies have sturdy crisp edges with a soft and fluffy, but intensely chewy center and a punch of lemon. Get the recipe link in my profile @snixykitchen.

Time to dig into citrus season! Get the recipe for Time to dig into citrus season! Get the recipe for this gluten-free earl grey bundt cake with blood orange drizzle on the blog - link in profile @snixykitchen. 
•
Last year, Zoella (4) peeled and ate a blood orange she’d found in a bush in our side yard when we weren’t looking. We found the sticky peels on the steps and panicked - where did this blood orange come from? Did an animal bring it? Is she going to get sick?! 
•
And that’s how we discovered our neighbors have a blood orange tree. By that point, it had dropped most of its fruit except for a few very high up branches that leaned over our fence. The tree is fruiting and nearly ripe again so I’m hopeful I can barter for a bag of oranges in exchange for some slices of this bundt cake.

We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with t We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with this savory gluten-free dutch baby topped with gruyere, a pile of buttery thyme mushrooms, and garlic wilted Baby Kale. Getting out of our dinner rut feels refreshing! Made in partnership with @plenty, this breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime dish shows off their pesticide-free greens that are vertically farmed right here in the Bay Area. I’ve told you this before and it’s not an exaggeration when I say these are my favorite greens – they somehow taste fresher and more vibrant. 
•
I dropped some of this dutch baby off with my neighbor and, without prompting, she immediately texted, “YOM. I would make this. Greens are hella good.” It’s true. The greens are the star. If you’re in the Bay Area, use the link in my profile to find out where to get them near you!
•
Related big news: Ira (2) voluntarily ate cooked Baby Kale without throwing it on the floor or sneakily moving it to his sister’s plate. Even Ira knows a good thing when he sees it. 
•
For the gluten-free dutch baby recipe, search “almond dutch baby” on snixykitchen.com. Omit the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, and top it with grated gruyere 5 minutes before it’s done. For topping, saute some mixed mushrooms in butter with fresh thyme, and sliced garlic. Then add a few handfuls of Baby Kale and toss just to wilt. Salt & pepper to your heart’s content. If you want the extra flare, add a runny fried egg (eggs on eggs – why not?).
