Coucous Pudding with Pineapple (Senegalese Chakery)

Chakery is a West African dessert made of couscous is sweet and creamy. Desserts are not all that common in West Africa however this is a lovely way to end an African meal especially if you add pineapple to it. The creamy texture comes from some evaporated milk, vanilla yogurt and sour cream. The sweet comes from a bit of nutmeg and of course the pineapple.

1 cup unsweetened evaporated milk
1 cups plain or vanilla yogurt
½ cup sour cream
1 cup unsweetened pineapples or other fruit, chopped
pinch nutmeg
2-3 drops pure vanilla extract
2 cups couscous (instant) or cook it yourself
sugar, to taste

Mix all the, except the couscous, to make the sweet mix. Cook the couscous separately in water. Instant couscous soaked in water will suffice. Pour the sweet mix onto the couscous.
