How to Make Couscous Dried Fruit And Honey Pudding

  1. Combine 1 cup couscous, 1/2 cup mixed dried fruit, and 1/4 cup chopped nuts in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a separate saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups milk over medium heat until small bubbles begin to form around the edges (scalded). Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add the couscous mixture to the warm milk mixture.
  5. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Cover the bowl and let it stand for 15-20 minutes, or until all the milk is absorbed and the couscous is tender.
  7. While the pudding is setting, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping: Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  8. To serve, spoon the couscous pudding into bowls.
  9. Drizzle with whipped cream (optional) and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
