Grießbrei (German Semolina Pudding)

Lalaloula's Note:

This is a typical German dessert that I ate very often as a child. It is made from semolina and quite similar to pudding, only grainier. It is often eaten plain or with some cinnamon-sugar sprinkled on top. Another popular way of eating it is topped with berry compote. I hope youll enjoy this as much as we do! :)

• Total Time: 12 mins
• Prep Time: 2 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 2 bowls

• 350 ml milk (low-fat is fine)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons sugar (splenda is fine as well, can use more)
• 40 g semolina (I use whole spelt semolina)

Directions:

1. In a saucepan mix milk, sugar and vanilla.
2. Bring milk to a boil being careful not to burn it. Reduce heat to medium.
3. Using a wire whisk stir in semolina and simmer for 5 minutes until semolina has thickened lightly.
4. Remove from heat, fill into serving bowls and allow to chill until completely set. You can also eat this lukewarm, when it is still creamy.
5. Serve with compote of your choice, cream or cinnamon-sugar.

I've made semolina pudding before and always enjoy it, this is no exception. I do prefer it still warm and creamy and it was perfect for lunch on this dank and gray day. I topped it with a light sprinkle of cinnamon Splenda (also used Splenda to make the pudding). Thanks Loula for a warming treat.

Great pudding either alone or with fruit. I put apple puree on the top of mine. So easy to do and recipe makes a decent amount too.Leftovers will make delicious breakfast. Sorry that the pic looks like mashed potato !!

If it's pudding, I'm usually interested! Made this one according to the recipe, although I did serve it topped with a small amount of dark brown sugar & a few dark raisins! Very, very tasty, & well-worth keeping the recipe around! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
