Sombi
Sombi is Senegal's most beloved dessert and is made throughout West Africa under similar names. It is served at family gatherings, given to children as an after-school snack and eaten during Ramadan to break the fast.
Senegal's comforting coconut rice pudding — short grain rice slow-cooked in coconut milk and sugar until thick and creamy, perfumed with vanilla. A gentle, nourishing dessert beloved across Senegal.
Ingredients
Method
Combine rice, coconut milk, water and salt in a heavy pan.
Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
Cook over low heat for 30-35 minutes, stirring regularly, until rice is very soft and mixture is thick and creamy.
Add sugar and vanilla. Stir and cook 5 more minutes.
Serve warm or cold in small bowls.
Stir frequently to prevent the rice sticking to the bottom — coconut milk scorches easily.
