How to Make Creamy Coconut Quinoa Pudding

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup quinoa, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 45-50 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup additional granulated sugar (or to taste).
  4. Let the pudding cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken.
  5. Just before serving, garnish with 1/4 cup shaved coconut flakes.
