Easy Sweet Polenta Pudding

This is one of my favourite sweet recipe. Very easy to make and very yummy!

Ingredients (8 servings):
250g polenta (the powder, not the ready made one)
125g sugar (demerara or light brown)
800ml water
1 teaspoon vanilla
Dessicated coconut
Some chopped nuts

1. In a non-stick deep pan, add the polenta, sugar, water and vanilla.
2. Mix and place on the cooker, allow to simmer on medium heat stirring gently with a wooden spoon.

1. It might take about 10min to thicken. Be careful when it starts to thicken as it will start to erupt volcanically.
2. Keep stirring until a thick paste-like consistency is obtained.

1. Remove from heat.
2. Pour in a round 26cm (or any of your choice) glass dish.
3. Spread evenly in the dish.
4. Sprinkle with dessicated coconut and chopped nuts.
5. Allow to set. You can place it in the refrigerator when it is a bit cooled.
6. Cut into 8 triangle pieces

Variations:
You can add less sugar and have this with some maple syrup
You can add some raisins

You can have this as a dessert or I have it as an afternoon snack with tea.
Enjoy!
