In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar, extracts and cream and a pinch or two of salt, and slowly add to the rice mixture, stirring rapidly to combine. Pour the mixture into a 2-quart buttered casserole or baking dish. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle it over the rice. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until the pudding is thick. Serve warm with whipped cream and whole strawberries.
