Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, place the milk, semolina and sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture is fully dissolved and creamy, about 20 minutes. Be careful not to let the milk boil. Stir in the orange blossom water.
  2. Transfer the semolina pudding to an 8x11 baking dish and use the back of a spoon or spatula to spread the mixture to an even layer. Press a plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming and allow it to come to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
  3. Remove the plastic wrap from the semolina pudding, spoon the ashta on top of the pudding and sprinkle with pistachios all over. Cover lightly with plastic wrap, and allow the pudding to cool completely in the fridge, at least 2 hours.
  4. When ready to serve, cut the pudding into 12 squares, and drizzle each serving with simple syrup.

Notes

  • Storage: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator, storing up to 3-4 days.
