Dessert - Semolina pudding with cherries in a multicooker by Antonela C. - Recipia

Semolina pudding with cherries in a multicooker is usually served for dessert after lunch or dinner, cold or just cooled. The milk and semolina make the middle soft, while the eggs hold it together around the baked cherries. I prefer it well chilled, when I can cut slices that hold their shape on the plate. Preparation: 15 minutes. Cooking: 54 minutes. Total time: 69 minutes. Servings: 6. Approximately 310 kcal and 10 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

720 ml milk
180 g semolina
50 g butter
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
2 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar (38 g)
200 g pitted cherries

Preparation

1. Choose the Boil function and heat 720 ml of milk for 10 minutes, until it starts to boil. 2. Gradually pour in 180 g of semolina, stirring, then cook for 4 minutes. The mixture thickens and no longer runs like milk. 3. Add the butter, vanilla essence and grated lime zest, then turn off the appliance and stir until the butter melts. 4. Beat the egg whites with the sugar until you have stiff peaks. 5. Fold the foam into the semolina with a wooden spoon or spatula, using upward strokes from the bottom. Add the egg yolks, then the pitted cherries. 6. Choose the Bake function and bake for 20 minutes at 150°C, then for another 20 minutes at 180°C, until the middle is set and the top is lightly browned.

Notes

Firm cherries are easier to pit and release less juice than very soft ones. In texture, the pudding is closer to set rice pudding than to warm semolina served by the spoonful. You can use 100 g of raisins or 80 g of chopped walnuts instead of the cherries; hazelnuts also work, in the same amount of 80 g. Semolina contains gluten, and milk, butter and eggs are also present. Serve it with plain black tea. Start making it before the meal so it has time to cool before dessert. Keep it covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
