Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces olive oil
4 ounces finely ground semolina
4 ounces coarsely ground semolina
2 ounces blanched and finely chopped almonds
Ground cinnamon
12 ounces water
10 ounces sugar
1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium pot on medium-high heat. Add the semolinas and almonds and stir constantly until the semolina is cooked and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • In a small pot, mix the water, sugar, lemon half, cloves, and cinnamon. Place on high heat and bring to a boil. Turn heat to medium-high heat and simmer until sugar has dissolved, about 6 minutes. Pass through a sieve and discard lemon and spices.
  • Carefully, pour the syrup over the semolina and stir until well blended. Cover the pot and let sit to absorb, about 10 minutes.
  • Spoon the mixture into 3 1/2 to 4-ounce ramekins and let cool. Unmold onto a plate and sprinkle with cinnamon.

I used almond milk instead of regular milk, and it turned out great!

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This halva is a great way to use up leftover semolina. I always have some leftover after making pasta, and this is a great way to use it up.

I love that this halva is not too sweet. It's the perfect balance of sweetness and nuttiness.

This halva is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it a few days ahead of time, and it was still just as delicious when I served it.
