4. Once the rice is cooked the pudding will start to thicken.

7. For a vegan version, use half cooked rice and coconut milk.
8. Towards the end, add 1/2 cup of sugar and mix well.
9. Take the pan off the heat and let it cool. refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
10. If the pudding looks dry, add some milk and stir well.
11. For the blueberry coulis, soak dried blueberries in water for an hour.
