Layali Lubnan/Lebanese Nights dessert
What you’ll need:
1 cup fine semolina
5 cups warm fresh milk
2 tbs white sugar
1 tsp rose water
about 400ml thick cream (aka Arabic Qishta)
Mixed crushed nuts and shredded coconut for garnish
Honey
Method:
1. Heat the milk on low-medium fire. Don’t let it boil.
2. Once really warm, add the sugar and semolina and stir.
3. Continue to stir constantly until you get a thick mixture. Don’t let it thicken too much as it’ll get thicker as it cools down.
4. Add the rose water and give it a final stir.
5. Add the mixture to half of your serving bowls and let it cool down to room temperature.
6. Once cool, spread about 3 tbs of thick cream/qishta on top of each bowl.
7. Garnish with nuts and shredded coconuts and drizzle honey upon serving.
