Indulge guilt-free with this healthy dessert - a luscious amaranth & mango pudding topped with a coconut drizzle. Perfect for clean eating!
Ingredients
- • amaranth: 1 cup
- • water: 2 cups
- • ripe mangoes: 2, peeled and diced
- • almond milk: 1 cup, unsweetened
- • coconut sugar: 2 tablespoons
- • ground cardamom: 1/2 teaspoon
- • cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • fresh ginger: 1 teaspoon, grated
- • coconut milk: 1/4 cup, for drizzle
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • sea salt: a pinch
- • fresh mint: a few leaves for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Begin by rinsing the amaranth thoroughly under cold water. This helps remove any natural bitterness and ensures a clean flavor.
- 2 In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed amaranth with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the grains are tender and the water is absorbed.
- 3 While the amaranth is cooking, prepare the mango puree. In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, almond milk, coconut sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, and grated ginger. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 4 Once the amaranth is cooked, stir the mango puree into the saucepan. Add a pinch of sea salt and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- 5 For the coconut drizzle, gently heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the shredded coconut and a touch more coconut sugar if desired. Stir until the mixture is warm and slightly thickened.
- 6 To serve, divide the warm pudding into bowls. Drizzle with the coconut sauce and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Spiced Amaranth & Mango Pudding pairs beautifully with a light herbal tea, such as chamomile or mint, enhancing the soothing flavors. For a bit of crunch, consider serving with a small handful of mixed nuts or seeds, like toasted almonds or pumpkin seeds, which add texture and additional nutrients. A side of fresh tropical fruits, such as kiwi or pineapple, can also complement the pudding's exotic profile, offering a colorful and nutritious presentation.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its creamy consistency, reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of almond milk if needed to loosen the texture. The coconut drizzle can be stored separately in a small container and warmed slightly before serving. Always consume leftovers within the recommended time to ensure optimal freshness and nutritional value.
