The Berry Swirl Semolina Dessert is a delightful and creamy treat that showcases the vibrant flavors of fresh berries. This dessert is easy to prepare and features a base of smooth semolina pudding, which is swirled with a luscious berry sauce made from your choice of strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
The combination results in a visually stunning dessert that’s perfect for any occasion, from casual family dinners to elegant gatherings. With its comforting, velvety texture and the natural sweetness of the berries, this dessert is sure to please both children and adults alike.
The semolina pudding can be made ahead of time and refrigerated, making it a convenient option for those busy days. By using seasonal berries, you can elevate the dish even further, showcasing the best of what nature has to offer.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup semolina
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and semolina over medium heat. Whisk continuously to prevent lumps from forming, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the semolina thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the pudding to cool slightly before transferring it to serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- While the pudding is chilling, prepare the berry sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, and sugar. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and add it to the berry mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to release.
- After the pudding has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Gently swirl the berry mixture into the semolina pudding using a spoon or spatula, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to mix it completely, as you want to retain the beautiful berry swirls.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired, or return to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Extra Tips:
To enhance the flavor of the berry sauce, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of cinnamon. This dish can also be made vegan by substituting the milk with almond milk or coconut milk.
Feel free to experiment with different types of berries or even add a layer of crushed cookies or granola for added texture.
Enjoy this revitalizing dessert as a perfect end to any meal!
