Cous Cous Cake

[Mair]

Hmm could well have been too much water in the cous cous, I've not made it before and was kind of guestimating the amount. I'll have to have another go with less water.

i never measure it,but i just put water in to just cover the cous cous,cover it with cling film then leave it to swell and absorb the water

I make mine with toffee yogurt and use just enough water to cover the cous cous!! Tastes delicious!!! I prefer it hot and not cold though as I found it went a bit chewy!arty0049:arty0038:

 

[BrittW]

GAHHHHH i want to make it now!!!
But alas, i have NONE of the ingredients haha!!

 

[XxjpxX]

hi just made one and not to sure on the texture, if i grind the cous cous will it still be free ??

 

[Louise24]

No sorry hun, it won't be free if you grind the cous cous. Have a look in your book and standard cous cous is free but cous cous that is ground and used as flour is synned.

Did you use enough water? I find the texture ok.

Ohh, also - I decided to add some coffee in the boiling water to mine this morning, made it really bitter........... bleugh!!

Yes, I can eat a whole one in a day!! mmm x

 

[Susiewoosie]

Can you use different yoghurt as long as its free and the same size. I've got some Asda pineapple probiotic yoghurt thats free andI fancy trying that.

[Louise24]

Don't see why not Sue - give it a go, I'm sure someone else has used the danone lasting satisfaction yogs and it turned out fine.

Mullers are SOOOO expensive xxx

 

[Susiewoosie]

I ended up making it with a lemon and passionfruit yogurt that needed to be used. Then I put a tbsp of lemon curd in as well. When it was cool I mixed some quark with sweetener and a bit more lemon curd. Yum

Hello i am new to this site. I have made couscous cake, following various recipes. I have added mashed banana to the mixture, which was nice also some grated carrot(finely) with some allspice to taste, very similar to carrot cake, just alot less fat!

Hi all.....I just made the cous cous cake with toffee muller and a few drops of vanilla essence....

I loved it so much that half is already gone, but my other half said it tasted like a lumpy omelette!!

Carrot cake is my fav, so will try with that next

 

[Jante]

I should have said. mixed spice, not all spice. Sorry
