About Chakery

Access Gambia’s chakery pairs couscous with a sweet dairy mixture. This version selects unsweetened pineapple alongside plain yogurt, sour cream, evaporated milk, vanilla and sugar.

The dairy ingredients bring a tangy character, balanced by pineapple and sugar. Vanilla adds its aroma, with nutmeg offered as an optional flavouring.

The sweet mixture is poured over separately prepared couscous, leaving fruit pieces among the grains. The source does not identify the couscous grain or prescribe a final serving temperature for this pudding.
