- For the quinoa and topping
- 1 cup rinsed and drained quinoa
- 2 cups coconut milk (I used Silk original from the dairy case)
- 1/2 cup grated sweetened coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Putting it all together
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1/3 cup semolina
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- A pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup sugar, divided
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup grated sweetened coconut
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh orange zest
- Juice of one orange
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Cooked quinoa
- Coconut-cinnamon topping
Method
- In a medium saucepan combine the quinoa and coconut milk. Bring to a boil and then cover and lower the heat to a simmer for about 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed into the grain. Set aside.
- Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and place in a 350° F oven for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the coconut starts to slightly brown. Place in a small bowl and stir in the cinnamon. Set that bowl aside.
- Whisk the semolina, cornstarch, 1/3 cup sugar and the pinch of salt in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, begin slowly heating the coconut milk to boiling. While watching the milk, beat the eggs with an electric mixer, add the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and continue beating until thick and a little fluffy.
- Once the milk comes up to a boil, whisk in the semolina mixture and continue stirring until the mixture thickens and just starts to boil again. Take off the heat and let rest for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the egg mixture, cooked quinoa, orange zest, orange juice, coconut, and vanilla. Pour into a greased 8 x 11-inch baking pan. Bake at 350° F for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Serve warm in small dessert dishes topped with a teaspoon or two of the cinnamon-coconut topping.
