With a bit of leftover cooked millet, you can prepare a satisfying gluten-free treat, the millet and hazelnut cake. So after the chicory millet loaf here’s the sweet version.
The millet has the peculiarity of having a very delicate flavor which pairs wonderfully with both savory and sweet.
Indeed, with millet you can prepare healthy treats, with few ingredients, in this case, I added an egg, but you can easily leave it out and mix the millet with jam, ricotta, or soy yogurt. The sweetness in this case is given by a three-ingredient cream, 100% hazelnut cream, cocoa, and malt (but it can be honey). Nothing else, then of course it is at your discretion to make it more or less sweet.
You can add dried fruits like dried apricots, raisins, plums, or even some chopped nuts, apples or dark chocolate.
