Risgrynsgröt is a Swedish rice pudding or porridge often served around Christmas time.
My husband loved this porridge. It’s just a little sweet and tastes just like cinnamon raisin oatmeal. It can be served with or without the raisins, but I felt it needed them. It was a little lack luster otherwise. Plus, raisins are a great compliment to cinnamon.
Another Christmas tradition is to add a whole almond to the pot. The family member who gets the almond, get a small gift (usually a piece of chocolate).
Pin this recipe for later:
