Sweet Polenta Pudding is one of my favourite dessert recipe. Very easy to make and very yummy!
Sweet Polenta Pudding
Ingredients (8 servings)
250 g polenta (the powder, not the ready made one)
125 g sugar (demerara or light brown)
400 ml coconut milk, or water, other non-dairy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Desiccated coconut
Some chopped nuts, optional
In a non-stick deep pan, add the polenta, sugar, water and vanilla.
Mix and place on the cooker, allow to simmer on medium heat stirring gently with a wooden spoon.
It might take about 10min to thicken. Be careful when it starts to thicken as it will start to erupt volcanically.
Keep stirring until a thick paste-like consistency is obtained.
Remove from heat.
Pour in a round 26cm (or any of your choice) glass dish.
Spread evenly in the dish.
Sprinkle with dessicated coconut and chopped nuts.
Allow to set. You can place it in the refrigerator when it is a bit cooled.
Cut into 8 triangle pieces
Variations:
You can add less sugar and have this with some maple syrup.
You may add some raisins in the pudding while cooking.
Substitute part of the water with coconut milk for creamier richer pudding.
You can have this as a dessert or I have it as an afternoon snack with tea.
Enjoy!
