What is semolina pudding made from?

Semolina pudding is made by cooking fine semolina in milk until it becomes thick, smooth and creamy. This version is lightly flavored with cinnamon and served with warm honey-spiced apples, pouring cream and chopped walnuts.

What is the difference between semolina pudding and rice pudding?

Semolina pudding is made from finely ground durum wheat, while rice pudding is made with rice. Semolina cooks much faster and creates a smooth, creamy texture rather than the individual grains you get in rice pudding.

Can you make semolina pudding ahead of time?

Yes. Store the cooked semolina pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat it when you're ready to serve. It will thicken as it cools, so stir in a splash of milk while reheating if needed.

Can you eat semolina pudding cold?

Yes. Semolina pudding can be eaten warm or cold, although this recipe is especially delicious served warm with the spiced apples, cream and walnuts.

Why is my semolina pudding lumpy?

Lumps usually form when the semolina is added too quickly. Slowly pour the semolina into the warm milk while whisking constantly to keep the pudding smooth and creamy.

Is semolina pudding gluten-free?

No. Semolina is made from durum wheat and contains gluten, so traditional semolina pudding is not gluten-free.

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 and add the cinnamon while whisking constantly. Continue whisking for 3–5 minutes, until the pudding thickens and becomes smooth and creamy.
Let it rest:Remove the semolina pudding from the heat, cover and let it rest for 5 minutes. It will continue to thicken as it sits.
Make the spiced apples:Add the diced apple, water and cinnamon to a small frying pan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apple is soft and the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat, add the honey and stir until the apples are glossy and coated.
Serve:Spoon the warm semolina pudding into bowls and top with the spiced apples. Finish with a drizzle of pouring cream and chopped walnuts.
