Riz à l'impératrice (pronounced [ʁi a lɛ̃.pe.ʁa.tʁis]) is an elaborate molded version of rice pudding in French haute cuisine. Rice pudding is mixed with Bavarian cream, set in a charlotte mold, turned out and then decorated with candied fruits macerated in alcohol such as kirsch or maraschino.[1]

The dessert is said to have been named in honor of the Empress Eugénie de Montijo, Empress of France from 1853 to 1870.[2][3]
