Danish Rice Pudding Rice Almond (Danish Christmas Eve Tradition)

From our mom, Karen VanOrden

About 4-6 cups cooked-cooled rice

Mix 2 large packages of instant vanilla pudding with 5 cups of milk. Blend until very smooth and creamy. When thick, fold in 1 large container of Cool Whip and fold in as much rice as you like. Top with Cool Whip and sprinkle with crushed almonds. When you serve it for Christmas Eve, put a whole almond in one dish. The person who gets the whole almond needs to keep it in their mouth without letting anyone guess that they have it. They will win a prize.

Alternate method using Dreamwhip.
2 envelopes Dream Whip whipped with one cup of very cold milk to light and fluffy. Mix1 3/4 cup more milk and two small packages of vanilla instant pudding and blend into the Dreamwhip. Beat at high speed for 2 more minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Fold in the rice and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Good if refrigerated overnight.
