Creamy Custard Dessert
"A palate pleaser — that is what this creamy custard dessert is all about. Rich and decadent that will cut through a heavy savory recipe. A homemade custard with a crunchy topping that you serve as a delicious dessert for the holidays or any other occasion. A Middle Eastern dessert that tastes like a crème Brulee, but with a delicious texture from semolina flour and cornflour. The topping acts as another layer of texture — which gives it a unique aroma too. "
