Lenten millet pudding with pear

6 servings

60 minutes

Pear millet pudding is a delicate and aromatic dish that combines warm notes of cardamom, vanilla, and the sweetness of pear. Millet, traditionally used in European cuisine, serves as the base for this light dessert. Coconut milk adds creaminess and a hint of exotic flavor, while brown sugar caramelizes in the oven to create a delicious crispy crust. This pudding is perfect for cozy tea times, especially on cold days when you want something homey and fragrant. It pairs wonderfully with herbal or fruit teas.
