Ingredients
3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
1 1/4 cups almond milk
1 3/4 cups low-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
Pinch salt
Cocoa nibs, toasted sliced almonds and toasted coconut shavings, for serving
Directions
- Combine the quinoa, almond milk, 1 1/4 cups of the coconut milk, brown sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and the quinoa is very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pudding to a bowl, and refrigerate, covered, until cold.
- To serve, stir in some additional coconut milk for a creamy consistency. Top with cocoa nibs, almonds and toasted coconut. Enjoy!
