Tropical Rice Pudding with Raspberry Sauce

In top of doubleboiler, combine rice and water; bring to boil over direct heat, stirring twice. Cover and reduce heat to low; cook 20 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, puree raspberries in food processor or blender; strain to remove seeds. Stir in granulated sugar; set aside. Bring 2-inches water to boil in bottom of doubleboiler. Stir milk, coconut milk, brown sugar, tapioca and lemon zest into rice. Place over boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat 15 minutes or until thickened but not thick. Stir about 1/4 cup hot rice mixture into beaten egg. Gradually stir in about 1/2 cup more rice into egg. Stir egg mixture into saucepan with remaining rice mixture. Cook, covered, 5 minutes, stirring once. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Serve hot or cold with raspberry sauce. Garnish with fresh fruit, if desired.
