Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups canned coconut milk plus more if desired
  • 1 large vanilla bean seeds scraped; reserve pod
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup toasted unsweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
  • 8 ounces fresh raspberries
  • 2-4 tablespoons honey depending on how sweet you like it

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Bowl
  • ladle or spoon for serving

Method
 

  1. Pour the coconut milk into a medium saucepan. Add the coconut sugar, pinch of salt, the scraped seeds from the vanilla bean, and the reserved vanilla pod.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. Add the uncooked quinoa, stir to combine, then reduce the heat to low and partially cover the pot.
  4. Cook on low for about 20–30 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent a skin from forming and to keep the mixture from sticking, until the quinoa is tender and the milk has thickened.
  5. Remove from the heat, discard the reserved vanilla pod, and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
  6. In a small bowl, gently toss the raspberries with 2–4 tablespoons honey to taste.
  7. Spoon the pudding into bowls or jars. Top each serving with toasted coconut, toasted slivered almonds, and the honey-drizzled raspberries.
  8. Serve warm or refrigerate and serve cold.

Notes

  • Use full-fat canned coconut milk for a creamier pudding.
  • Toast coconut and almonds until golden for best flavor.
  • Adjust honey to taste when tossing raspberries.
  • Stir often while simmering to prevent sticking.
