In Norwegian folklore, a bowl of rice pudding is traditionally left out for the barn elf, or "nisse," as a gesture of goodwill and gratitude. The nisse is believed to be a guardian of the farm and livestock, and offering food helps to ensure their favor and protection over the household. If the nisse is properly appeased, it is said to bring good fortune, while neglecting to provide offerings could result in mischief or bad luck. This custom reflects the deep-rooted connection between people and the spirit world in Norwegian culture.

It is not actually rice pudding, it is a Norwegian dessert called Rice Cream (or, some sources say that it is merely a rice porridge.) The dinner of Christmas takes flight with the traditional rice dessert (with a lucky almond hidden for someone to discover)-- a bowl is also brought as a gift to the Barn-Elf, so that he will continue to watch over the animals, and refrain from mischievous ways.
