This is a typical dessert dish in the highlands of Peru. It is served preferably hot, or make it just before serving dinner and keep at room temperature. Ideally you will offer this dessert if dinner didn´t include quinoa. The preparation time is about 10 minutes; making this dessert is simple and quick. Commonly in Peru some people will have just this dessert for dinner, but the portion size will be a bit bigger, simply because it is easy to eat accompanied by a cup of herbal tea.

Serves (4)

Ingredients

1 ½ Cups of cooked Quinoa

1 ¼ Cups of regular milk (or other milk you prefer)

½ Cup of raisins soaked in hot water (optional)

¼ Tsp. of Cinnamon

¼ Tsp. of Vanilla

3 Tbsp. of Sugar (or other sweeteners)

3 Tbsp. of Cornstarch dissolved in cold water

Preparation

In a medium size pot over medium heat, add the quinoa, milk, along with the cinnamon, vanilla, and bring to a boil.
