Cheese sweet with Aleppo pistachios is absolutely delicious!

Ingredients: 500 g mozzarella cheese 1 1/2 cups fine semolina 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup syrup Ground mastic with a little sugar 2 tablespoons rose water or orange blossom water

Syrup (shira)

Ashta (clotted cream) Ground Aleppo pistachios for garnish * Orange blossom flowers for garnish

Preparation:

In a pot set over a bain-marie, place the cheese over medium heat... Using a wooden spoon, stir the cheese until the water separates from it and the mixture becomes very soft.

Add the water and semolina and keep stirring until the cheese absorbs the semolina and a soft dough forms.

Add half a cup of syrup to the dough, along with the rose water and mastic, and stir until the syrup is absorbed by the cheese and semolina and a dough forms that is soft and easy to stretch.

You can add more syrup if the dough is thick. On a smooth surface, sprinkle a little syrup and begin stretching the dough until it becomes thin. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles, as desired.

Place 1 tablespoon of ashta in the center of each square and wrap the dough around the filling.

Place the pieces of cheese sweet in the refrigerator. Then decorate with more ashta, ground Aleppo pistachios, and orange blossom flowers, and drizzle with syrup before serving.
