    Chakery a West African dessert made of couscous is sweet and creamy.  Desserts are not all that common in West Africa however this is a lovely way to end an African meal especially if you add pineapple to it. The creamy comes from some evaporated milk, vanilla yogurt and sour cream. The sweet comes from a bit of nutmeg and of course the pineapple.  Enjoy!
