Thiakry

Ingredients

1 cup millet couscous (or substitute with small grain couscous)
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Millet Couscous

In a large bowl, rinse the millet couscous under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain.

Steam the couscous according to package instructions or place it in a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over it until covered. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Mix the Dairy

In another large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Mix well until smooth.

Add Flavorings

Stir in the ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar. Adjust the sweetness to taste.

Combine Ingredients

Add the prepared millet couscous to the dairy mixture. Mix well until the couscous is fully coated and incorporated.

If using, stir in the raisins.

Chill

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the thiakry to chill.
