Method:

1. Place the rice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 1/2 cups (625 ml) water in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring once. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, or until soft and tender but still moist. Leave for 5 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, put the yoghurt, cream, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk together. Leave at room temperature, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.

3. Toss together the berries and extra sugar. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

4. Add the hot rice to the cream mixture. Add milk or extra cream if the mixture is too thick. Serve in bowls, topped with the berries.

Note: If you have to refrigerate the rice pudding it will thicken-use cream or milk to thin it to the desired consistency.
