HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and fine semolina. Whisk well to ensure there are no lumps.

02

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon to prevent sticking.

03

Continue to cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon.

04

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the honey and orange blossom water until fully combined.

05

Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins.

06

Allow the puddings to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.

07

Before serving, sprinkle each pudding with ground cinnamon and chopped pistachios.

Chef's Tips

For an extra creamy texture, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream along with the milk. Adjust the amount of honey to your preferred sweetness. A pinch of saffron threads steeped in a tablespoon of warm milk can also be added for color and flavor.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have orange blossom water, rose water can be used as an alternative for a different floral note. Almonds or walnuts can replace pistachios for the garnish. Any plant-based milk can be used for a dairy-free version, though the texture might vary slightly.
