Semolina Pudding With Fresh Berries Recipes

GERMAN SEMOLINA PUDDING

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, stir together the milk and sugar. Set over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Milk tends to boil over as soon as it boils, so stay with it! When it boils, immediately remove from the heat. Stir in the semolina, and return to the burner. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until thickened but still pourable. Pour into serving bowls, and top with your favorite hot cereal toppings.

SEMOLINA PUDDING

Steps:

• Add the milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to a medium-sized pot and bring everything to a boil on the stove while whisking regularly.
• Once the milk is boiling, remove the pot from the heat and add the semolina while whisking.
• Place the pot back on the hot burner and wait for the contents in the pot to boil while whisking regularly.
• Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat, place the lid on top, and let the semolina sit for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, stir the semolina pudding in the pot with a wooden spoon until there are no lumps.
• Transfer the semolina pudding to serving bowls. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and/or garnish with fresh fruit. You can enjoy the pudding warm or cold!

SEMOLINA PUDDING WITH FRESH BERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Chill large metal mixing bowl in freezer. Butter 9- by 13-inch baking dish and dust with semolina flour.
• In heavy large saucepan over moderately high heat, combine milk, orange zest, and lemon zest. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean. Bring to boil, then immediately reduce heat to low and add semolina flour in slow, steady stream, whisking constantly. Cook, still whisking constantly, until mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Add egg yolks and butter, and continue whisking until butter melts and is completely incorporated, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to large bowl and set aside.
• Using electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment, in chilled large metal bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks just begin to form, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Add sugar and beat until soft peaks fully form, about 30 seconds. Fold 1/3 of egg whites into semolina batter to lighten, then gently fold in remaining whites just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top.
• Bake pudding until fully set in middle and golden on top, with edges just beginning to brown, about 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool to room temperature before serving. To serve, cut into 8 portions and top with strawberries.

SEMOLINA PUDDING WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the blueberry sauce: Stir together the blueberries, honey, and orange juice in a small sauce-pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, then adjust the heat to keep the sauce simmering gently. Cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until the berries break down and the juices reduce to a syrupy sauce. Keep the sauce warm while you make the pudding.
• To cook the semolina: Pour the cream into a medium saucepan, add the salt, and set over medium heat. When the cream comes to a boil, whisk in the semolina, pouring it into the pan gradually, in a thin, steady stream. Continue whisking until all the flour is incorporated. Cook and whisk until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, 10 minutes or so.
• Set the strainer over a bowl, and scrape in the cooked semolina. Let the fat drain into the bowl for at least 5 minutes (or longer, if you wish). The amount of excess fat will vary with the heavy cream; discard any that collects in the bowl.
• Serve the pudding warm or at room temperature, topped with the blueberry sauce.

CHOCOLATE SEMOLINA PUDDING WITH RASPBERRY PUREE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan. Put the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add cocoa powder and semisweet or bittersweet chocolate and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat.
• Beat the yogurt and sugar together in a large bowl. Add the butter and chocolate, the semolina, the baking soda, and the vanilla; beat until thoroughly blended. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake until the pudding is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, puree the raspberries in a blender or food processor. Depending on how flavorful they are, you may want to add a tablespoon of sugar or a squeeze of lemon juice to the mixture, but taste first to see if either is necessary. Then strain the puree, stirring and pressing the mixture through a sieve with a rubber spatula to leave any seeds behind; be sure to get all the puree from the underside of the strainer.
• When the pudding is done, let it rest for a few minutes, then cut it into squares or rectangles and serve warm, on some of the puree, with a few whole berries on top.
