How to Make Cheese Halva (Shal)

When the sugar completely dissolves and bubbles appear, add the orange blossom water. Then add the sweetened Akkawi cheese and stir well until the cheese forms a single mass. Gradually add 1 cup of fine semolina while stirring continuously so the semolina absorbs the water and blends completely with the cheese. Stir well for about a quarter of an hour on low heat, continuing to move the dough and lift it up

\r\n

When you obtain a single mass in the shape of dough, spread it on a clean surface lightly greased with syrup or sugar syrup and a sprinkle of rose water

Cool it slightly and place it in a container, submerge it in syrup, then close the container tightly and refrigerate

When serving, cut it by hand and serve with cream or curd cheese

You can also roll it and fill it as desired

Boil the water and powdered milk… when the milk comes to a boil, add a small cup of white vinegar with a cup of labneh or yogurt…

(The yogurt will increase the amount of curd… when the curd starts to form, strain it and set it in a sieve, then add a can of Qimir cream)
