Ingredients
- 2 cups couscous
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 2 cups vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
- Raisins or fresh mint, to garnish (optional)
Method
- Put the couscous and salt in a heatproof bowl, pour over 2 cups boiling water, cover, and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in the butter if using. Leave to cool completely.
- Whisk the evaporated milk, yogurt, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla together in a large bowl until the sugar dissolves.
- Fold the cooled couscous into the yogurt mixture until evenly combined and creamy; add a splash more milk if it seems dry.
- Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes; the stated total time can be met by chilling while preparing the garnish if serving the same sitting, but a longer chill improves the texture.
- Spoon into bowls, dust with nutmeg, garnish with raisins or mint, and serve cold.
