fluffy, light dessert, small casserole, pre-cooked rice for 2 people

Cook the rice in water, cream, vanilla pulp, and orange or lemon zest. Stir occasionally. Add the honey to the sour cherries and mix, adding a little (1 tbsp) of fruit juice or water if desired. If desired, you can puree some of the cherries. Set aside. Stir the yogurt into the cooked rice. Separate the eggs, stir the egg yolks into the rice mixture, beat the egg whites until stiff and fold in. Transfer the rice dish to a greased baking dish and bake at 150°C (300°F) for about 50 minutes. The yogurt-egg mixture will set rather than bake, making it light and creamy, like a soufflé. Serve the rice dish with cherries.
