Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups (500 ml) whole milk
- 1/2 cup (60 g) fine semolina
- 3 tablespoons sugar (swap for honey, maple syrup, pureed dates)
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- To serve: Runny honey, pouring cream, and chopped walnuts (or even a blob of butter! 😉)
Instructions
Heat the milk: Add the milk to a saucepan and warm over medium heat until it just begins to steam. Don't let it boil.
Add the semolina: Slowly pour in the semolina while whisking constantly. Continue whisking for 3–5 minutes, until the pudding thickens and becomes creamy.
Add the flavorings: Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Remove from the heat, cover and let the semolina pudding rest for 5 minutes. It will continue to thicken as it sits.
Serve: Spoon into bowls while warm. Drizzle with honey and cream, then top with pistachios, fresh berries or your favorite toppings.
Notes
Feeling fancy? Layer it with roasted nuts and a drizzle of honey syrup for a Lebanese-style semolina cake taste.
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.
