Adapted from a recipe by the EF First Cycling team: https://www.efprocycling.com/tips-recipes/team-recipe-on-the-bike-rice-cakes/
Makes enough for a big day out, with some to spare.

Method
Combine water, rice, sugar and coconut oil in a rice cooker. Cook on the white rice setting.
Once done, mix in cream cheese and vanilla. Fold in blueberries and chocolate.
Spoon into a sandwich-size zip-lock freezer bag. Flatten, smooth out the air, and leave to cool on a flat tray.
Once cool, refrigerate overnight.
Cut into squares and wrap individually in foil.
