Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Millet
- 2 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Shredded unsweetened coconut
- Fresh berries or sliced fruit (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the millet under cold running water using a fine mesh strainer to remove any debris or impurities.
In a medium saucepan, combine the millet, coconut milk, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the millet simmer gently for 15-20 minutes or until the grains are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Stir in the coconut sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until the sugar dissolves and the pudding becomes creamy.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding rest for 5 minutes. This will allow it to thicken slightly.
Spoon the pudding into serving bowls and sprinkle shredded unsweetened coconut on top for texture and flavor.
If desired, garnish with fresh berries or sliced fruit for added color and natural sweetness.
Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
