Directions

To make quinoa pudding: Prepare quinoa according to package directions, substituting almond milk for water. Drain, reserving almond milk. Remove quinoa from bags and stir into almond milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5-8 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Refrigerate for 45-60 minutes, or until well chilled.

To make a creamy yogurt layer: In a large bowl, stir yogurt, honey and vanilla. In a separate bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks begin to form. Stir whipped cream into the yogurt mixture until blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.

To make a cran-raspberry layer: In a medium bowl, stir cranberry sauce, orange juice and orange zest. Gently fold in raspberries.

To assemble: In a 10-cup truffle dish, layer 1/3 quinoa mixture, 2 tablespoons almonds, 1/3 cran-raspberry mixture, 1/3 vanilla cookies and 1/3 yogurt mixture. Repeat layers twice. Garnish with remaining raspberries and almonds.
