Dégué -dessert from Ivory Coast

  Dégué is a typical dessert from Ivory Coast, also from Mali or Mauritania, and from Senegal where the dessert is called Thiakry. It's a tasty dairy dessert that may remind you of a kind of rice pudding, but made with another cereal, millet.

The dessert is usually prepared for baptisms or weddings. It's also very simple.

- 300 grams evaporated milk.

- 200 grams millet couscous.

- 300 grams yogurt.

- 200 grams fresh cream.

- 100 grams sugar.

- 1 teaspoon Vanilla.

- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.

- 10 grams Butter.

Method:

1- To cook millet couscous, pour boiling water over it until it covers everything, then let it stand for half an hour until the semolina has absorbed all the water. In case you find not completely soft, you can continue cooking it for 5 minutes in the microwave.

2- Add the butter to the millet, mix well.

3- Pour evaporated milk, fresh cream and yogurt into a bowl and mix well.Add sugar, vanilla, and millet, continue stirring well.
