Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Nafajama fonio
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp desiccated coconut

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the fonio, coconut milk, water, and salt.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fonio is tender and the mixture has thickened to a porridge-like consistency.
  • Once the fonio is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Divide the porridge into bowls, then top each bowl with a dollop of cream cheese and a sprinkle of desiccated coconut.
  • Serve the fonio coconut porridge hot and enjoy! Optional: You can also add a sweetener of your choice, such as honey or maple syrup, to the porridge before topping it with cream cheese and desiccated coconut.
