Ingredients

1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 cup unsweetened evaporated milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups dry couscous
cooked according to package
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
fresh fruit
to garnish

Directions

Chakery (sometimes spelled Thiakry) is the Gambian twist on rice pudding, made with couscous or millet, sweetened yogurt and sour cream. As Gambian cuisine tends toward the savory, it’s subtly sweet and lovely topped with fresh fruit – particularly a ripe mango. And if you have leftovers, it makes a perfectly good breakfast!

Steps

Done

Mix all the ingredients except the couscous together in a large bowl. Once couscous is cooked according to water, stir it into the liquid mix well. It may seem a bit liquidy at first, but the couscous will continue to absorb while chilling in the fridge. Serve topped with fresh fruit.
