How To Make empress rice mold

  • Step 3
    Beat egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar and remaining 1/2 cup milk. Add small amount of the hot rice to yolks; mix well and then add to rice mixture. Cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Step 4
    Add candied fruit and lemon peel. Chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from spoon.
  • Step 5
    Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar; beat until very stiff. Fold into rice mixture.
  • Step 6
    Fold in whipped cream. Turn into 6-cup mold; chill until firm (several hours or overnight). Unmold; serve with additional whipped cream and candied fruit.
