Coconut and Semolina Dessert
A simple, quick dessert that takes no more than 10 minutes and uses ingredients found in every home... and best of all, it doesn’t require an oven :)
Ingredients
Start here, then move straight into the method.
- 2 cups milk (reconstituted from powder + water)
- 2 cups finely grated coconut
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup finely ground semolina
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- In a pot over low heat, combine the milk, semolina, sugar, and vanilla, stirring continuously.
- Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, then add the butter and stir until well combined. Turn off the heat and add the coconut; mix well. Divide the dough into two equal parts: leave one plain and mix the other with cocoa powder.
- Leave both portions to cool completely. Once cooled, shape each type into long fingers and roll them in shredded coconut.
- Place the two colored fingers side by side and twist them together into a braided rope as shown in the accompanying photo. Cut them into small fingers and refrigerate until serving time.
