Rijstevlaai (pronounced RICE-tuh-vly) is a yummy pie that's popular in parts of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. It's also known as rijsttaart or tarte au riz, which all mean "rice flan" or "rice tart." This special pie has a creamy filling made from rice pudding.
Rijstevlaai originally comes from a town called Verviers in Belgium. From there, it became popular in nearby areas like Eastern Belgium, the southeastern part of the Netherlands, and around the city of Aachen in Germany. People usually enjoy this delicious pie served cold.
What is Rijstevlaai?
Rijstevlaai is a type of vlaai, which is a traditional Dutch and Belgian pie. What makes it unique is its filling. Instead of fruit or custard, it's filled with sweet, soft rice pudding.
How is it made?
Most rijstevlaai pies are made with just one layer of pastry at the bottom. This means there's no pastry covering the top of the pie, so you can see the creamy rice pudding filling. It's often baked until the top of the rice pudding gets a slightly golden or browned crust, which adds to its delicious taste.
