This semolina pudding recipe is a childhood favorite both kids and adults will love. This delicious, healthy dessert is ready in just 10 minutes, so give it a try!
This is one of my favorite desserts of all time! It brings up so many beautiful childhood memories. My grandma used to make this very often and I used to eat it with homemade strawberry jam. It was absolutely heavenly!
This semolina pudding recipe is very easy to make and all you need are four basic ingredients: semolina, milk (in this case, vegan milk – I used soy milk), vanilla extract and your favorite kind of jam. I didn’t add extra sugar because it doesn’t need to be any sweeter. You can eat this with any jam you like, strawberry, blueberry, plums, it goes well with any of them.
Also, I made it vegan! The original semolina pudding recipe is made using cow’s milk. This is the vegan, healthier version of it!

Just cooked and tried this, portion sizes great for 2 of us; just enough left over to try cold later.
Tried with raspberry jam first of all on top and then mixed into the semolina (much better), do not go crazy with how much you put on.
Recipe could not be clearer or simpler, thank you.

My grandma used to make this too for me! In my case she served it with strawberry jam and fresh fruits. Love it!

This must be my all-time favourite dessert and my favourite vegan version is with creamy coconut milk. I only make this pudding with very coarse semolina and the fat in coconut milk keeps the grains separated. I love to add molasses, cinnamon or berry jam sometimes. Gorgeous pictures...and so tempting!:)
