Couscous Pudding

Sweet, Creamy Warm Vegan Couscous Pudding Made With Coconut Milk, Cinnamon & Raisins. It’s a Quicker Version of Rice Pudding – Perfect for Dessert or Breakfast.

Warm, Sweet & Creamy Couscous Dessert

I’ll start off by telling you my motivation for this recipe. I wanted a warm rice pudding but with less time & effort to prepare.

A quick rice pudding? It takes at least 25 minutes to make a pot of rice. Not terribly long, I know, but time is something we never have enough of…

Couscous, that’s quick though – cooks in 5 minutes quick.

Ingredients & Instructions For Couscous Pudding

This Couscous Pudding takes a little over 10 minutes to make and is ready to eat in just about 20 minutes.

Start by cooking the couscous.

While that’s going, simmer the coconut milk, vanilla, sugar & spices over low heat, stirring often, until thickened or about 10 minutes. Add the raisins and simmer for an additional minute or two.

If you don’t have a cardamom pod on hand, substitute a pinch of ground cardamom or ground ginger or ground cloves.

Fluff the couscous, add to the liquids, and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let the pudding cool & thicken up a bit.

Serve & Enjoy  

This Couscous Pudding is wonderful served warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream.

It’s creamy, delicious and fondly reminiscent of rice pudding. Can be served as breakfast, dessert or an anytime sweet snack. Anytime comfort food goodness!  

This pudding is best served warm and reheats wonderfully.  

Hope you enjoy!
