Sweet Millet Topping
Yield
~6 dl (2½ cups)
Time
30 min
Gluten-Free Soy-Free

A smooth, creamy sweet topping made from millet, cashews, honey, and coconut oil. Perfect over porridge, fruit, waffles, or desserts.

Ingredients

  • 1 dl (⅖ cup) millet
  • 3 dl (1¼ cups) water
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1.5 dl (⅔ cup) cashew nuts
  • 0.5 dl (3 tbsp + 1 tsp) honey
  • 0.5 dl (3 tbsp + 1 tsp) coconut oil
  • 0.5–1 dl (3 tbsp + 1 tsp to ⅖ cup) water, for blending

Instructions

  1. Rinse the millet under running water until the water runs clear.
  2. Add the millet, 3 dl (1¼ cups) water, and salt to a saucepan.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the millet is soft and the water has been absorbed, about 15–20 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked millet, cashew nuts, honey, coconut oil, and 0.5 dl (3 tbsp + 1 tsp) water to a blender.
  5. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add up to another 0.5 dl (3 tbsp + 1 tsp) water if needed.
  6. Transfer to a container and let the topping cool completely before serving or refrigerating.

Tips & Variations

  • Adding more water makes the topping thinner and less sweet.
  • Serve over porridge, fruit salad, waffles, pancakes, or desserts.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey; this will also thin the consistency.
  • Add vanilla powder for extra flavor.
  • The topping thickens in the refrigerator as the coconut oil sets.
