Thiakry (Sweet Couscous Pudding)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Couscous
• 1 cup Water
• 2 cups Plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup Raisins
• 2 tbsp Grated coconut

Instructions

1. 1Pour the 1 cup of water into a medium saucepan. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil, which means large bubbles are rapidly breaking the surface. This should take about 5 minutes.
2. 2Once the water is boiling, carefully add the 1 cup of couscous. Stir the couscous into the water immediately to prevent clumping. Cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from the heat. Let the couscous sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to absorb the water.
3. 3After 5 minutes, remove the lid and use a fork to gently fluff the couscous, separating the grains. Set the fluffed couscous aside.
4. 4In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the fluffed couscous, 2 cups of plain yogurt, 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
5. 5Stir all the ingredients in the bowl together with a spoon until they are thoroughly mixed and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no pockets of yogurt or condensed milk.
6. 6Add the 1/4 cup of raisins and 2 tablespoons of grated coconut to the bowl. Stir them into the couscous mixture until they are evenly distributed.
7. 7Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken slightly.
