A traditional Norwegian rice pudding served on or near Christmas...very pretty!

Directions
Heat sugar, water, gelatin and salt in a 2-quart saucepan, stirring constantly until gelatin is dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir in milk, rice and vanilla. Place saucepan in bowl of iced water, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon, about 10 minutes.

Beat whipping cream in a chilled bowl until stiff. Fold whipped cream into raice mixture. Pour into an ungreased 6-cup ring mold or serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours. Unmold by dipping briefly in warm water and loosening edge with spatula; invert on a serving plate and serve with raspberry sauce. 8-10 servings.
