About kabissé
Kabissé is a creamy Guinean dessert combining small cereal granules with cultured milk. Oumou Bah’s millet rendition has a lightly grainy texture in a cool, tangy dairy mixture.
Vanilla sugar and refined sugar bring sweetness, while butter adds richness to the millet. The cultured milk provides the gentle sourness that balances those sweeter flavours.
Served very cold in a bowl, the dessert brings soft millet granules and smooth dairy together in each spoonful. Its character rests on that contrast of textures and the balance between sweetness and tang.
