COCONUT QUINOA PUDDING

Quinoa is so versatile I've started eating it for dessert! Simmered with a bit of almond milk and brown sugar, the grains become tender and inviting, cozy and creamy. Rich coconut milk takes the whole thing to another level. Dressed up with a few crunchy extras, like toasted coconut and cocoa nibs, the simple dish turns into a satisfying dessert. And if you have any leftovers, it makes a pretty great breakfast, too. But what are the chances of that?

1/4 cup dark brown sugar
Pinch salt
Cocoa nibs, toasted sliced almonds and toasted coconut shavings, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the quinoa, almond milk, 1 1/4 cups of the coconut milk, brown sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

¼ cup lime juice
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest

Tips:

  • Use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the coconut milk. This will remove any lumps and create a smooth, creamy pudding.
  • If you don't have a fine-mesh sieve, you can use a cheesecloth-lined colander. Just be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the coconut milk.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for the richest flavor. Light coconut milk will work, but the pudding will be less creamy.
  • Sweeten the pudding to your taste. You can use maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar.
  • Add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness of the pudding.
  • Top the pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds.

Conclusion:

Coconut quinoa pudding is a delicious and healthy dessert that is easy to make. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants. This pudding is also a great way to use up leftover quinoa. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give coconut quinoa pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
