For 6 sunflowers
1 cup of couscous
2.5 cups of rice milk
2/3 cup of raisins
a pinch of salt
a pinch of vanilla powder
2 tablespoons of sunflower oil to grease silicone moulds
For coverage
50 g dark chocolate 100% vegan
several tablespoons of rice milk
You need a silicone mold in the shape of 6 Sunflower (or other toppings of your choice)
These are very simple treats easy to prepare for everyone!
Instead of chocolate, to cover up the surface you can use sugar-free fruit compote, perhaps prepared at home, and instead of rice milk you can use other plant milks or apple juice, but with rice milk you will get a particularly delicate taste and a natural and pleasant sweetness, moreover the combination with the chocolate makes them irresistible, the more that chocolate doesn't cover them completely but only partially, creating a further contrast of flavors: who has tasted them has defined them "aphrodisiacs"! :-)
As always you are only limited by your imagination ... and a minimum sensitivity in the combination of ingredients and flavors.
Soak the raisins in a cup and cover with rice milk.
Bring to a boil two more cups of rice milk.
As soon as it starts to boil, turn off the heat, add the couscous and the entire cup with raisins.
Add a pinch of salt and one of vanilla.
Mix carefully.
Cover and leave to swell for about 15-20 minutes.
When the couscous has swelled well, shell it with a fork, grease silicone molds with a little oil and fill them with couscous, leveling the surface with the back of a spoon.
Let cool completely in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Remove from the refrigerator and turn out very carefully the sunflowers of couscous from the molds on a large serving platter.
Prepare chocolate cream making melt chocolate coarsely chopped in a saucepan with a few tablespoons of rice milk until creamy.
Pour the resulting chocolate cream on the sunflowers of couscous and serve.
