Akpan, also known as Akassa, is a fermented maize yogurt. A product of Togolese and Beninese cuisine, it is considered a dessert.
Description
Akpan is made by fermenting maize kernels or powder. The fermented maize is then bagged together with condensed milk and ice to create a sweet dessert.[1][2] Some sources describe the dish as a vegetable yogurt.[1]
The dessert is popular in Benin and Togo. In Benin, the dish is referred to as Akassa. It has a small consumer base in France.[1]
