Today I present to you the sweet couscous by spoon with chocolate, a recipe that was born by chance because I had leftover couscous, didn’t know how to use it, had chocolate in the pantry and so I tried it and I have to confess it was a sweet discovery. A fresh, creamy, and above all very tasty dessert, gluten-free, lactose-free and no added sugars.
An excellent snack, perfect also for an after-dinner dessert.

Preparation of Sweet Couscous with Chocolate
Let’s see how to prepare the Sweet Couscous.
In a baking pan, pour the couscous, add warm water and let it hydrate for 5 minutes. When it has absorbed all the water, fluff it with a fork.
Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie and slightly heat the cream in a saucepan, then add it to the chocolate, stirring well to combine. At this point, add the couscous, mix everything and fill the cups or glasses, letting it rest in the refrigerator for an hour. If you prepare it in the summer, leave it for even 2 hours, it will be even fresher.
Before serving, add the desired fruit. I used pomegranate since it is in season, but you can also use strawberries or berries.
notes
If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days covered with plastic wrap. For those with a sweet tooth, you can also whip the remaining cream and decorate your glasses with cream and fruit.
