On low heat, add cocodolo mix to boiling water in a large pot and blend very well to remove all lumps or balls.

Once all lumps are smooth out, cook porridge for 15 mins and stir continuously to prevent burning at the bottom.

After cooking for 15 mins and as the porridge is getting thicker, add butter, evaporated milk and sugar for taste. Blend well for tasty porridge! Turn heat off and cool down for 5 mins.

In a bowl, pour few spoons of hot Liberian Cocodolo porridge, sprinkle powder milk on top and serve with your favorite sandwich, pancakes or doughnuts!
