Grandma’s Semolina Pudding Recipe
Ingredients
1. Semolina Pudding
- 1 liter of milk
- 200 g of sugar (1 cup)
- 130 g of semolina (1 cup)
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
2. Caramel
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of water
Preparation
- In a small saucepan, add the sugar and ¼ cup of water, just enough to moisten all the sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until dissolved. Keep warm without stirring until the mixture turns a light brown color.
- Pour the caramel into the base of the molds to be used, either small individual ones or a large one with a diameter of about 18 centimeters, and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and vanilla. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring until dissolved. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and add the semolina in a drizzle while constantly whisking to prevent lumps. Cook for an additional minute.
- Pour the semolina pudding mixture over the molds covered with caramel. Allow it to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least a couple of hours.
- Immerse the base of the molds in a tray with boiling water for about 5 minutes to melt the caramel and unmold.
- Serve the semolina pudding immediately, traditionally drizzled with its own caramel, but optionally accompanied by raspberries and/or blueberries.
