A perfect winter warmer for the sweet-toothed tramper.

This dreamy coconut rice pudding goes down well on colder winter nights. You can either take frozen blueberries and let them defrost in your pack or if you are on a multiday tramp you can use freeze dried ones. You can swap rice flakes for quinoa flakes if you want higher protein content. For an extra treat take a little maple syrup to drizzle over before serving.
