Required ingredients

For the semolina with milk:
- 300 ml milk
- 30 g semolina
- Sugar to taste
- A pinch of salt

For the caramel sauce:
- 4-5 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup milk (approximately 250 ml)

Preparing the semolina with milk

1. Boiling the milk
Start by pouring the milk into a saucepan. Add a pinch of salt and sugar, the amount depending on your personal preferences regarding sweetness. Place the saucepan over medium heat and wait until the milk is almost boiling.

2. Adding the semolina
Once the milk has started to boil, sprinkle in the semolina while constantly stirring with a whisk. This will prevent lumps from forming. Continue to stir until the semolina thickens and the consistency becomes creamy, about 5-7 minutes. When you achieve the desired texture, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Preparing the caramel sauce

3. Caramelizing the sugar
In a small saucepan, preferably non-stick to avoid sticking, add the sugar. Place the saucepan over low heat and wait for the sugar to start melting. Use a wooden spoon to stir gently. Be careful, as the sugar can burn quickly. Aim for a golden color, which will give you a delicious caramel sauce!

4. Adding the milk
Once the sugar has caramelized, remove it from the heat and slowly add the milk. There will be a lot of foam and noise, so don’t be alarmed! Stir well to homogenize the mixture. Place the saucepan back on the heat, at medium temperature, and let the sauce boil until it thickens, stirring occasionally.

5. Assembling the dessert
