Sweet couscous

Preparation mode

• Start by hydrating the corn couscous. Place the couscous in a bowl and add enough water to cover it. Let it rest for about 10 minutes or until the couscous has absorbed the water and is soft.
• While the couscous is hydrating, put the milk in a pan and place over medium heat. Add sugar, salt and vanilla extract (if using). Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
• When the couscous is ready, drain the excess water and add it to the pan with the sweetened milk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the couscous has absorbed the milk and the mixture has thickened. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let the sweet couscous cool slightly.
• Transfer the sweet couscous to individual bowls or a large bowl. Cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• When serving, sprinkle a little cinnamon powder on top and decorate with fresh cut fruit, such as banana, strawberries or kiwi.
• Serve the sweet couscous chilled. You can also add other ingredients, such as shredded coconut or chopped nuts, for more flavor and texture.
