Julkaka is a traditional Finnish dish, often enjoyed during the Christmas season. It is a type of rice pudding made with rice, milk, and sugar, typically flavored with cinnamon and sometimes served with a fruit sauce. The dish is known for its creamy texture and sweet taste, making it a popular dessert in Finnish households. In some regions, Julkaka is also associated with the celebration of Joulupukki, the Finnish Santa Claus. Families often prepare this dish as part of their festive meals, and it is common to hide a single almond in the pudding. The person who finds the almond is said to have good luck in the coming year.
