Vanilla Rice Pudding with Blueberries
Vanilla Rice Pudding with Blueberries was invented by a mother who suffered from histamine intolerance. She wanted to recreate one of her favorite childhood desserts in a way that she could enjoy it without any side effects. She experimented with different ingredients and cooking methods and found that using short grain rice, lactose-free milk, and fresh blueberries effectively lowered the histamine content and she was able to enjoy her beloved dessert once again.

Tipps
Choosing the Right Rice
It's important to use short grain rice for this recipe as it has more starch than other types of rice, which gives the pudding a creamier texture.
Consistent Stirring
Make sure to stir the pudding occasionally while it is cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and to ensure even heat distribution.
Serving Suggestions
This pudding can be enjoyed both warm or chilled based on your preference. It's just as delicious either way!
Fresh Blueberries
Always ensure to use fresh blueberries. Not only are they lower in histamines, they give a more vibrant color and fresher flavor to the pudding.
Leftover Storage
This pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the microwave or on the stove, adding a little extra milk if needed to loosen the consistency.
