Dessert - Rice pudding by Alis K. - Recipia

Semolina pudding is one of the desserts I make when I want something simple, with common ingredients. It is prepared directly on the stove, and the steps are few: the milk is sweetened, the semolina is added, and it is stirred until cooked. In the end, the dessert is dusted with cinnamon and decorated with slices of strawberries. The semolina should be added gradually while the milk is boiling, so that the mixture can homogenize as well as possible. It is important to stir continuously during boiling until the semolina is cooked.

Put the milk in a pot and add the sugar. 2. Let the milk boil until it starts to bubble. 3. When the milk boils, gradually sprinkle in the semolina. At the same time, stir using a whisk or a wooden spoon. 4. Continue stirring until the semolina is cooked. It is not advisable to leave it without stirring at this stage, as the mixture thickens as the semolina cooks. 5. When ready, place the semolina pudding on a plate. 6. Dust with cinnamon on top and decorate with slices of strawberries. The dessert can be served after decoration. The recipe does not specify whether it is served hot or cold, so you can place it on a plate and let it reach your desired temperature before eating. Why I make the recipe often I like this recipe because it has a short list of ingredients and does not require complicated preparations. Milk, semolina, and sugar are enough for the base of the dessert, while the cinnamon and strawberries give it a nicer appearance when served. Another practical thing is that the dessert is made in one pot, directly on the stove. It does not need baking or separate stages. The most important thing remains stirring while the semolina boils, to ensure a uniform texture. Tips Add the semolina when the milk has started to boil and sprinkle it gradually, not all at once. This way, you can incorporate it more easily into the milk. Stir continuously or as often as possible during boiling. Use a whisk if you want to break up any lumps more easily, or a wooden spoon, as mentioned in the original recipe. Do not stop cooking immediately after adding the semolina. It needs to boil until it is cooked. The recipe does not provide an exact time, as this can vary depending on the quantity and the intensity of the heat. Stick to the amount of sugar indicated if you want to maintain the taste of the recipe. The 4 teaspoons are added along with the milk, before it boils. Cinnamon is sprinkled on top after the semolina has been placed on the plate. The strawberries are used for decoration and are added in slices. Substitutes The recipe does not indicate substitutes for the basic ingredients. Milk, semolina, and sugar make up the main composition, so changing one of these can alter the texture or taste of the dessert. For decoration, strawberries can be omitted if not available. In this case, the semolina pudding can be served simply dusted with cinnamon, as this is part of the serving method of the recipe. Variations The basic recipe remains the same whether you choose to add more or less cinnamon at the end. The indicated amount is a pinch, meaning just enough to lightly cover the dessert. You can keep the decoration very simple, with a few slices of strawberries placed on top. There is no need to modify the semolina pudding composition to achieve the presentation mentioned in the recipe. If you are preparing the dessert for children, the slices of strawberries can be cut into suitable pieces for serving. This is just an adjustment of the decoration, it does not change the actual recipe. Serving ideas Place the semolina on a plate immediately after it is ready, then dust it with cinnamon. Add the slices of strawberries on top, so that the decoration is visible. You can serve each portion simply, with the cinnamon and strawberries mentioned in the ingredients list. The recipe does not specify other toppings or additions, so no extra ingredients are necessary. Frequently asked questions Can any type of milk be used? The recipe only specifies the quantity of 1 liter of milk, without mentioning a certain type or fat percentage. You can use the milk you have available, but the type of milk may slightly influence the final taste and consistency. When is the semolina added? The semolina is added when the milk starts to boil. It is sprinkled in gradually and stirred at the same time with a whisk or a wooden spoon. How do I know when the semolina is done? The recipe states to stir until the semolina is cooked. No exact number of minutes is indicated, so checking is done based on the cooking of the semolina during boiling. Can I skip the strawberries? Yes. The strawberries are used for decoration, not for the base composition. If you do not have them, you can serve the semolina pudding only with cinnamon. When is the cinnamon added? Cinnamon is sprinkled after the semolina pudding has been placed on the plate. It is not added to the milk during boiling, according to the steps in the recipe. Nutritional values The values below are estimates for the entire prepared quantity. The calculation may vary depending on the type of milk used and the exact weight of the 7 heaping tablespoons of semolina. Calories: approximately 900-1,200 kcal for the entire recipe Protein: approximately 35-45 g Carbohydrates: approximately 150-190 g Fats: approximately 20-40 g Sugars: approximately 65-85 g, including added sugar and lactose from the milk The recipe does not specify the number of servings, so it is not possible to accurately calculate the nutritional value for a single serving. The strawberries used only for decoration do not significantly change the total estimate, especially if a small amount is added. Storage and reheating The original recipe does not provide instructions for storage or reheating. Being a milk-based dessert, it is best consumed fresh, after being placed on a plate and decorated. If there are leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in a suitable container and consume them as soon as possible. The semolina pudding can thicken after cooling, as the semolina continues to absorb liquid. For reheating, the recipe does not indicate a specific method or time, so it is preferable to prepare only the quantity you intend to serve.
