- amaranth – its a gluten free grain with more protein than quinoa. it is crunchy and grainy in texture and does not absorb too a lot of liquid.
- sugar – I used white sugar to maintain the right color of this dessert. You may use maple syrup in the soup or brown sugar as well.

Firstly, I sliced the strawberries and placed them on a prepared baking sheet.
Secondly, I drizzled over maple syrup on each slice and baked them in the middle rack of the preheat oven at 350 degree for 15-20 minutes.
Next, I cooked dairy free milk and amaranth in saucepan until amaranth was fluffy and the dessert thickens a bit.
Thereafter, I stirred in cardamom, vanilla and sugar to it. Then, I let it cook for another 15 minutes at low-medium heat.
Afterwards, I turned off the flame and removed it for heat. Then, i let it cool down to room temperature.
