Prepare the baobab fruit juice:

Substitute fresh or canned Tamarind juice, or any other tropical fruit juice.
Steam or cook couscous as normal.
Stir in butter.

Make the sauce by mixing equal parts baobab fruit juice and peanut butter one or two cups of each. Add sugar, vanilla, nutmeg (or cinnamon) and orange water.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Sprinkle with sugar.
