1/2 cup sugar

1 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 cup fine semolina

1 cup and 1/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon baking powder

Milk for soaking Basbousa

2 cups cold milk

Milk cream filling:

  1. Mix the basbousa ingredients together in order, then grease an ovenproof glass dish with a little corn oil and pour in the basbousa mixture...
  2. Place the dish in a preheated oven at 180°C until cooked for half an hour or depending on your oven, then brown the top.
  3. Mix the milk and sugar well until the sugar dissolves, and pour this mixture over the hot basbousa, then prick it so it absorbs all the milk; mix all the milk cream ingredients except the cream powder, whisk them cold until combined, then put them on the heat with constant stirring until the mixture thickens...
  4. Remove the mixture from the heat then add the ready-made cream powder and whisk them with an electric mixer until well combined for no less than 5 minutes...
    Timers: 5 min
  5. Then spread the hot cream mixture over the milk-soaked basbousa and leave it in the fridge for at least 4 hours until the cream cools well; preferably leave it until the next day..
    Timers: 240 min
  6. Decorate the basbousa with grated coconut, fruits and nuts as desired
