Ingredients

Sweet Millet Balls

½ cup Millet 125g
2 cup Dairy-free milk (4 times the amount of millet) 4,5dl
4 Tbsp Corn grits aka Polenta
½ cup Cane sugar 110g
1 tsp Vanilla extract optional

Mixed Berries Sauce

2 cup Frozen mixed berries 200g
½ cup Water
½ cup Cane sugar 110g
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 Tbsp Corn starch

Instructions

Sweet Millet Balls

Add millet and milk (I used Alpro almond milk) to a saucepan and cook them on small-medium heat undercover for approx. 15-20 minutes until millet absorbs all milk.
Take the pan off the heat and add corn grits, cane sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly and leave the cover on for approx 10 minutes.
Wait until chilled enough that you can form the balls. And they are ready!

Mixed berries sauce

Add frozen berries, water, and cane sugar to a saucepan and cook them on medium heat.
When sugar dissolved add cinnamon and corn starch and mix thoroughly. It is ready when the mixture slightly thickens. It will thicken more when cooled.
If you prefer smoother, then use a hand mixer and puree it as much as you like.
