My favourite meal is breakfast and my favourite thing to eat for breakfast is porridge. If you have been here long enough, you will know I love porridge in so many different ways. It’s my comfort food. It is annoying that my son is not a morning person and he really does not like porridge as I do. The only porridge he will eat is Cerevita.
A few years ago I made sadza with coconut milk and it never occurred to me to make porridge. I was inspired by a Filipino dessert I had recently, I don’t remember the name. It is made with cornstarch, coconut milk and served cold. I used this desert as my inspiration.
If you know how to make porridge then this will be easy. Just substitute coconut milk for water. It makes for a rich and luxurious consistency.
