How to make it
4 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Combine the baobab fruit pulp and water
In a large bowl, combine the baobab fruit pulp and water. Stir well and let it soak for at least 30 minutes to allow the pulp to dissolve and separate from any seeds.
30 minStir the mixture vigorously
Stir the mixture vigorously to ensure the fruit is fully incorporated, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another clean container to remove any seeds or coarse fibers.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of nutmeg
Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of nutmeg to the baobab liquid. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Chill the Bouye in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving cold.

A little kitchen wisdom
For the best results, use high-quality baobab pulp or powder. If you use seeds with pulp attached, ensure you soak them long enough to loosen all the fruit. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less condensed milk.
