Ingredients

2 cups cooked rice
1 cup 2% milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries

Remove from heat. In a small bowl, stir a small amount into egg yolks; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Cool completely.
Layer half the blueberries, half the pudding mixture and half the raspberries in six parfait glasses. Repeat layers. Refrigerate until serving. If desired, top with whipped cream and almonds.
