Rice With Oranges And Whipped Cream

Strictly speaking, this is probably not a dish that originated in Sweden. In 
a Swedish cookbook from 1879 the dish is called "Risgryn med apelsin" 
(literally "Rice grains with orange") and the French name is given as "Riz à 
la Malte". Whatever the origin, it is very popular in Sweden .

Ingredients: 

      4 dl cooked white rice, cold and soft 
      2 dl whipped cream, whipped to a volume of 4-5 dl 
      1 tablespoon fresh lemonjuice

      1 orange, peeled and cut in very small pieces and/or 
      3 slices of pineapple, cut in very small pieces 


Proceed as follows:

1.Add the sugar to the cream and whip until reasonably firm, then add the lemon
  juice and the fruit pieces. 
2.Mix carefully with the cooked rice. 
3.Rinse a large bowl with water, then fill it with the rice-cream mixture, 
  press cautiously to remove any trapped air, and leave it for at least one 
  hour in the refrigerator. 
4.Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and turn out the rice-cream mixture 
  on to a round dish. 
5.Garnish with thin slices of orange and/or pinapple.
