Dèguè or Thiakry is a sweet, creamy and yogurt based dessert that get its origin from West Africa mostly to Senegal, Gambia, Ivory coast, Mali. .. It is a sweet yogurt-based millet couscous dessert. The millet granules are mainly mixed with milk, sweetened condensed milk, or yogurt. Optionally Some dried fruit such as raisins, desiccated coconut, and spices such as nutmeg are added. Traditional Thiakry or dèguè is made with a millet couscous, and nothing compares to the traditional version. Not everybody like the millet or you might not have it handy. In that case, other grain couscous will do fine. I even tried quinoa dèguè, which wasn’t bad at all. Throughout the year the recipe travelled and got twisted, adapted to location, ingredients availability and to taste.
