While rice is cooking, add the blueberries with half of the sugar and zest of lemon into another pot and cook for 5 minutes until they just blister and release some of their juices. If it’s a bit dry, add a little water. Whisk together the egg yolks, caster sugar and cinnamon until pale and thick then stir into rice. Keep mixing until smooth and glossy. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
