How to Make Coconut Couscous Pudding

  1. Combine 1 cup couscous and 1/2 cup shredded coconut in a medium bowl.
  2. Pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water over the couscous and coconut. Stir well to combine and ensure all couscous is saturated.
  3. Cover the bowl and let it stand for 5 minutes to allow the couscous to fully absorb the water.
  4. In a separate saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornflour (cornstarch), 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (or other plant-based milk), and 1/4 cup maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener).
  5. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens to a creamy consistency (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Gently stir in the cooked couscous and coconut mixture into the thickened coconut milk mixture. Mix until well combined.
  7. Spoon the pudding into individual serving dishes or a larger bowl.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set and chill completely.
  9. Serve chilled. Garnish with extra shredded coconut, fresh berries, or a dollop of coconut yogurt (optional).
