Ahh, perfect choice! 😍 Rizskoch (Hungarian Rice Cake) 🇭🇺 is a beloved childhood dessert in Hungary. It’s creamy, lightly sweet, and fluffy — almost like a cross between rice pudding and a baked custard cake. Traditionally, it’s served warm with powdered sugar or a fruit sauce (apricot, sour cherry, or raspberry are favorites).
