Semolina pudding with raspberries and rose water

griesmeel pudding met frambozen

Semolina pudding is a typical Dutch dessert. When I was young we would eat semolina porridge in the morning and sometimes semolina pudding as dessert. I even remember and old pudding form in the shape of a fish. I still don’t understand why a pudding is served in the shape of a fish, and why it was only done on the holidays.

This recipe for a semolina dessert is a little more modern. Although if I had the old pudding form of my mother, I probably made a fish shaped pudding myself 🙂

To make this semolina pudding something special, I used some raspberries, blueberries and rose water. The rose water gives the dessert just a hint of flowers and the fresh fruit makes from this dessert a real summer treat. This semolina pudding is low in added sugar and made from half fat milk, so for a dessert it is a healthy choice to make. A semolina porridge or pudding is easy to make. But always keep stirring the mixture will cooking because the semolina can easily stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
