Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, almond milk, 1¼ cups coconut milk, brown sugar, and salt over medium heat. Simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and the quinoa is very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and chill, covered, until cold.

To serve, stir in some additional coconut milk for a creamy consistency. Top with cocoa nibs, almonds, and toasted coconut. Enjoy!
