White chocolate - ginger milk rice with blueberries and lime

Spring, where are you? What are you waiting for? If at least the sun would shine more! Just a little more sunshine could make things so much better. Anyway, I was pretty keen to boost my mood with some kind of sweet treat. Luck me found the last bag of frozen blueberries. And when it comes to blueberres lime is a must. I grabbed a bar of white chocolate and some ground ginger and so this fragant milk rice was born.

Ingredients:
for the milk rice:
400 ml milk
100 g short grain rice
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or a vanilla pod
1 lime
for the white chocolate sauce:
100 ml milk
100 ml cream
2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
200 g white chocolate
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
bluberries and coarsly chopped pistachio for serving

Bring milk together with the vanilla paste or the vanilla pod and the scrapped seeds. Add rice, reduce the heat to low and cook it with the lid on for 30-35 minutes. Do not forget to give it a stir once in a while. Once the rice is cooked remove from the heat and stir in the zest of a lime. For the sauce start to warm milk and cream. Whisk together egg yolks and sugar until pale. As soon as it has reached 85°C stir in the egg yolk-sugar mixture and keep on stirring for 2 more mintues. Set aside and add chopped chocolate and ground ginger. Let it stand for minute, so that the chocolate gets the same temperature like the mixture and stir until smooth. Stir half of the sauce to the milk rice. Warm blueberries with sugar and lime juice, do not cook it. Remove from the heat as soon as sugar is molten. Serve milk rice with blueberries, some of the leftover sauce and coarsly chopped pistachio.
