Method
- Put the water over the heat until it boils, then add the sugar... let it dissolve and boil for a few minutes, then add the semolina and stir the mixture well for about 3 minutes. After that, add the cheese and mix well for 5 minutes.Timers: 3 min, 5 min
- You will get a slightly stretchy dough. Turn off the heat and add the rose water, then mix well.
- At this point, we should have prepared the syrup beforehand. Place parchment paper or a kitchen plastic sheet on a smooth surface, brush the paper or plastic with syrup, and place half of the dough on top.
- Place a second layer of parchment paper or plastic over the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin. Fill it with clotted cream, roll it into a log, cut it, and decorate as desired.
- Put the milk over the heat and when it boils, add the lemon juice and white vinegar... you will see the milk separate immediately. Pour it into a strainer to remove the water.
- In a separate bowl, mix the liquid milk, cream, starch, and sugar. Mix the ingredients well cold, without heat. Sugar can be added to taste.
- Place the mixture on the heat and keep stirring until it thickens. Turn off the heat and add the rose water. Pour the mixture over the curds formed after the milk has separated from the water. Mix the ingredients well.
- Wait until the clotted cream cools before using it to fill the jibneh halawa.
