Ingredients:
Instructions:
Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it thoroughly under cold running water. This step helps remove any bitterness from the quinoa.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed most of the coconut milk. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the dry cocoa powder and sugar until well combined. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the pudding to cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
While the pudding is cooling, peel and slice the bananas.
Take serving glasses or bowls and start by adding a layer of the quinoa pudding. Add a layer of banana slices on top of the pudding. Repeat the layers until the serving pot is full, ending with a layer of banana slices on top.
For best results, refrigerate the pudding pots for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set further.
Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few banana slices for an extra touch. Serve chilled and enjoy your choc-banana quinoa pudding pots!
Tips:
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water before cooking to remove the bitter coating called saponin.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture, but you can opt for light coconut milk if you prefer a lighter version.
- Make sure to stir the mixture frequently while cooking to prevent the quinoa from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to your preference.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving or refrigerate for a few hours to enjoy it chilled.
- Top the pudding with fresh banana slices, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and texture.
This choc-banana quinoa pudding pot is an excellent way to indulge in a healthier dessert option. You’ll love the creamy texture and delightful flavors. Not only is it easy to make, but it's also packed with nutrients, making it a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy a guilt-free dessert.
