🇹🇷 WHAT IS SEMOLINA PUDDING?
Semolina dessert is a creamy pudding made from semolina, milk, and sugar — popular in many Arabic, Turkish, Lebanese, and Indian cultures. Semolina dessert is also popular in European countries such as Greece, Germany, and Poland.
💰 WHY IS THIS BUDGET FRIENDLY?
Small Amounts of Ingredients:
Just a handful of simple ingredients create a rich, creamy dessert that tastes like it came from a Greek café — without the high price tag.

You can easily scale the recipe up or down, use any milk you have (even powdered or plant-based), and top it with whatever’s in your pantry — honey, nuts, orange segments. Nothing goes to waste!
🥄 INGREDIENTS NEEDED:
2 cups milk (500 ml)
½ cup semolina (60g)
3 tablespoons sugar (swap for honey, maple syrup, pureed dates, or whatever sweetener you fancy!)
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

Heat the milk:
In a saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until it just begins to steam.
Add the semolina:
Slowly pour in the semolina while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Keep whisking until the mixture starts to thicken — about 3–5 minutes.
Sweeten it up:
Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Cover with a lid and let the pudding rest for 5 minutes.
Serve:
Spoon into small bowls while warm. Drizzle generously with honey, pour over some cream, and sprinkle a few pistachios or fresh berries.
❓FAQS
Yes — semolina is healthy! It’s rich in protein, iron, and B vitamins, and keeps you full for longer.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream to loosen.
