Indulge in a nutrient-rich Tropical Quinoa Coconut Pudding with Spiced Mango Compote. Fresh, healthy, and naturally sweetened!
Ingredients
- • quinoa: 1 cup
- • water: 2 cups
- • unsweetened coconut milk: 1 cup
- • pitted dates: 1/2 cup, finely chopped
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • fresh mangoes: 2, diced
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground ginger: 1/4 teaspoon
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • shredded coconut: 1/4 cup, toasted
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed.
- 2 Stir in the coconut milk, chopped dates, and vanilla extract into the cooked quinoa. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about 10 minutes.
- 3 While the pudding is cooking, prepare the mango compote. In a small saucepan, combine the diced mangoes, cinnamon, ginger, and lime juice. Cook over medium heat until the mangoes are soft and the mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- 4 To serve, spoon the quinoa coconut pudding into bowls and top with the spiced mango compote. Sprinkle with toasted shredded coconut and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Tropical Quinoa Coconut Pudding is a versatile dessert that pairs beautifully with a variety of accompaniments. Consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad featuring papaya, pineapple, and kiwi to enhance the tropical theme. A cool glass of coconut water with a splash of lime juice makes for a refreshing beverage pairing, balancing the pudding's rich flavors. For a touch of indulgence, consider adding a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side, which provides a creamy contrast and additional protein boost. This dessert is perfect for a light after-dinner treat or a nutritious midday snack.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When ready to enjoy, gently reheat the pudding on the stove over low heat, or enjoy it cold for a refreshing treat. The mango compote may thicken upon chilling, so feel free to add a splash of coconut milk to adjust the consistency.
