- Combine the rice and milk in a pan and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Add sugar and salt. Cool.
- Add the cream, almonds and vanilla seeds from the pod or vanilla extract. Mix well. Divide into serving bowls or glasses until well chilled.
- To serve, spoon on top some cherries and syrup. This is quite a rich dessert so only a small quantity is needed.
