Faux Rice Pudding & Vanilla Sauce

There are many times when cooking just for two we end up with large amounts of leftovers.  So the other evening I had found we had a large container of leftover rice and no dessert.  What can you make with rice? Pudding of course!  While not a true rice pudding it came out just fine and with the vanilla sauce, it was great.
