Cooked semolina is a great consistency for cream. If the porridge is a little thicker than desired or has set, that's even better. This gelatinous semolina is perfect for casseroles, soufflés, and various sweet fillings.

Sweet dishes made from semolina porridge

Bird's Milk Cake

To prepare the correct cake base you will need:

  • 3 eggs
  • Butter or confectionery margarine 130g
  • Slaked soda in vinegar 1 tsp.
  • Cocoa 2 tbsp
  • Flour 1 cup (250g)

Preparation of cream:

  • Butter 300g
  • Salt 0.5 tsp
  • Sugar 2 tbsp
  • Milk 2 tbsp
  • Ground semolina

Before we begin the preparation process, let's clarify that semolina can be ground through an electric coffee grinder. This will make the cream even more delicate and airy.

While the cakes are baking, heat the milk in the required proportions on the stove, add the butter, sugar, and salt, and wait until all the ingredients are completely dissolved. Stir and continue heating. Then, using a spoon, create a vortex in the ladle and gradually pour a shot glass of ground semolina porridge into the mixture. A shot glass is the ideal measuring cup for 0.5 liters of milk. As the mixture thickens, adjust accordingly and decide whether to add more semolina to the milk or if the consistency is sufficient for you. Remember that semolina porridge sets up considerably as it cools.

Now all that's left is the little bit of work. Spread the baked cake layers with the cooled cream, press them together, and drizzle with melted chocolate or coat with chocolate spread.

Recipe #2 – Airy Dessert

For lovers of the delicate taste of semolina porridge, creamy soufflé and ripe fruit, this pudding recipe is perfect.

There's nothing complicated about it. Just cook some thickened semolina porridge and add sugar to taste. This will serve as the base for the dessert. Refrigerate the porridge in a round or square pan until it's completely cool. Before serving, garnish the dessert with fresh fruit pieces and pour fruit syrup over it. You can also decorate the surface with chocolate shavings or cinnamon.

You can make semolina pudding more beautiful by using your imagination. Instead of serving on plates, you can serve cold semolina pudding in cut-out fruit cups. Garnish with peeled grapes and orange slices, and season with cinnamon.

Recipe #3 – Homemade Mannik

A semolina cake, so-called "quick and easy." It's delicate and delicious, and everyone loves it. It gives you so much freedom in terms of seasonings that you can bake it every day and top it with your own creative fillings, always creating something new.

Ingredients for manna:

  • 2 eggs
  • Kefir
  • Sugar 1 cup
  • 1 tbsp margarine (must be melted)
  • Vegetable oil 1 tbsp.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (or the old-fashioned way: baking soda and vinegar)
  • 1 cup semolina groats
  • Flour 1 cup

Mix the eggs and sugar until smooth, then add a cup of semolina and half a cup of kefir. Once thoroughly mixed, let everything sit on the counter for 1 hour. Then add the remaining ingredients in order. Add the flour last.

Bake the pie in the oven for 30-40 minutes at 180°C (350°F). After baking, let it rest in the closed, turned-off oven for 5-10 minutes to set. After removing the mannik from the pan, cover it with a clean waffle towel for 10-15 minutes. Only then can you begin decorating your masterpiece.

Dessert #4 – Semolina Pina Colada

A time-consuming dessert. To prepare, you'll need:

  • Semolina porridge
  • Coconut flakes or flavoring
  • Pineapple pieces
  • Gelatin
  • Sweet serpentine

This time, you'll need to cook the semolina porridge thinly, just like you would for a three-month-old bottle-feeding baby. The semolina should be sweet and smooth. After cooking, while it's cooling, add coconut flavoring or shavings—your choice.

When the porridge becomes tolerably warm, pour in the prepared swollen gelatin at a ratio of 1:0.5 (gelatin).

Mix the mixture thoroughly and pour it into two identical molds. These can be two baking pans or regular bowls.

You leave one form as is, add pineapple pieces to the second and leave everything together to cool to room temperature, and then put it in the refrigerator.

Once the molds have set, they can be stacked on top of each other. If the porridge was poured into bowls, turn them upside down, scoop out the solidified contents onto a flat plate, cut, burn, and stack them on their other half to create a coconut and pineapple on a single plate.

You can also make a cake from this recipe by adding a sponge cake layer the same diameter as the solidified coconut, pineapple, and semolina mixture. Condensed cream or berry jam can be used to bind the cake layer and jelly.

Generously grease a baking dish with lard or confectionery margarine and pour the resulting mixture into it.
