Serves 10-12:
For the syrup:
4 cups water
2 cups sugar
1 cup Greek Honey
1 cinnamon stick
4 cloves
juice of an orange
For the pudding:
2 cups semolina flour
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sliced, soaked almonds (or blanched almond slices)
1/2 - 3/4 cup dried cranberries
zest of 2 oranges
seeds of 2 cardamom pods
1/4 teaspoon salt
Begin by making the syrup.
Combine the sugar, water, cinnamon stick, cloves and orange juice in a small pot.
Bring to a boil and stir until sugar has dissolved.
Remove from heat and add honey. Stir.
In a pot, toast cardamom seeds with oil, salt, and semolina flour over medium heat about 10 minutes or until golden. Keep stirring so that the semolina does not burn.
Add cranberries and toast 1-2 minutes more.
Discard cinnamon stick and cloves from syrup.
Reduce the heat to low under the semolina pot and carefully pour the syrup into it. The mixture will bubble up vigorously so be very careful.
Cook the pudding over medium heat while stirring about 10 minutes. It will be ready when all of the syrup is absorbed and it begins to release from the sides of the pot.
Add slice almonds and orange zest. Stir well to combine.
Spoon the pudding into a decorative Bundt cake mold. Press it in to compress with a spatula. This will help it stick together and will release easily from the pan.
Allow to rest at least 15 minutes.
Invert onto a serving platter or cake stand. Tap all around to help release.
Allow to cool completely before serving.
Serve as is or with a dollop of homemade whipped cream
Enjoy!

Thanks for watching! I'd love to see your recreations of these dishes so please share pics with me on social media :)

We call this Sad Elhanak in Egypt. After seeing your recipes i discovered that the Egyptian cuisine and the Greek cuisine are very very close but you guys use philo in savory dishes much more than we do. We do a lot of sweets with it. Thanks for sharing these delicious recipes.
radwa awad Oh, Egyptian food and sweets are so wonderful, too. What a delicious culture of food both you and Dimitra have!
@@SparrowStockwell thank you ❤
Looks delicious, definitely I will make it. I love semolina, thanks.soo much!
I've had this a few times. It was incredible. But it didn't have cranberries or nuts. I bet this knocks it out of the park. Your cooking is amazing. And you're a natural teacher as well.
In Greece We traditionally use raisins or sultanas, not cranberries…
I made this yesterday. So easy and so good. Great for lent. Thanks for the inspiration.xx
So glad you liked it :) xx
You've done a great job demonstrating this dessert.
Now, I have to try making it!
I left out the nuts for a friend who’s allergic to them, but I can’t wait to taste this halva. Putting cardamom in it is a great twist!
excelent recipe I like it ..congratulations thank you
Thank you :)
I love her recipes.
Thank you so much! I just posted an updated version of this recipe :) Enjoy!!
Love this recipe
Looks wonderful!!!
Looks delicious, as always, and can’t wait to try it !!! Greek deserts are full of honey which I love and so much healthier than regular sugar !
Hello my dear Dimitra. That pudding cake looks so so yummy. I want to make it soon. Thank you for sharing this good recipe with us🌸💜🌸💖🌸
Oh, my goodness. What a dream it is! I want to make it.
I am a vegatarian and just love your vegatarian meals and desserts.By the way..I cooked spanish/meditaranian food with meat for mij (adult)children.
Thanks for being a part of this community :)
Yea ! I just ordered your cookbook! I’m a hold it in my hands recipe follower vs on electronic devices
Ευχαριστώ πολύ...
Thank for recipe, India we called halva every special occasions we must mk this dish.
Dimitra, have you ever made halva with milk/water and butter? I usually do but made it with oil like my mom usually does this time. Sometimes when halva pops into your memory...you have to make it! 😍 childhood memories of our mamas burning their hands when adding the syrup...and the delicious smell!
No, I've only made it this way. It sure is delicious :) Minus the burns :)
My Thea Pelagia used to shape these into what looked like fat fingers and dust them lightly with cinnamon.
Είσαι μια θεά! Η συνταγή αυτή μοιάζει με της γιαγιάς μου! oh the memories :)
Thank you for a quick reply. You are such a young lady to be cooking all this wonderful looking food. Did you go to cooking school, or did Grandma and Mom show you the way to do it? Or, is it natural born talent?
Hi Dimitra, the ingredients list says 1/2 cup of Almonds but you say to use 3/4 to 1 cup in the video, which one is the correct amount?
Whatever you prefer. It won't mess up the recipe. the extra almonds will give a nuttier flavor and texture.
Its called kesari bath in India and we consume it regularly with breakfast
I love your recipes!!!
Thanks so much!
Cloves are like cooking advice from a Greek husband....less is more!
They are!
Please how can i buy your rise cooker
Preety
Do you store this in the fridge? If so, how long does it last?
Yes, I store it in the fridge. It doesn't last too long in my home. No dessert makes it past day 3..lol
But it will stay fresh for 10 days in an air tight container :)
Thank you :)
Lovely recipe! But vegans don't eat honey (which leaves more for the rest of us!)
lol! I'll eat anyone's share of honey if they don't want it ;) All joking aside, the honey can be substituted by an equal amount of sugar if that's an issue. xoxo
Yes, perhaps one could make and orange flower water or rosewater syrup with extra sugar instead of using honey. I expect it would be equally delicious.
Suzanne Baruch Some vegans definitely eat honey! There are all kinds of vegan diets.
I’m vegan & I eat honey lol
Vanessa Abi: Vegans don't eat animal products. If you eat honey, you're not a vegan. www.vegansociety.com/go-vegan/honey-industry
You'd be a very sought after wife in Greece ! :)
We call this Kesari..
You can even add cashews..
Please just change the title to "Vegetarian", a Vegan won't eat honey. You could add the use of Agave syrup i future vids.
Honey is not vegan.
Use maple syrup instead
the oil is too much, instead of this much use GHEE like 3 tablespoons to fry the Semolina in it. and add milk instead of using this much oil. I swear this is way much tastier and the milk gives it a full taste.
Merea Love it’s a vegan recipe so ghee and milk cannot be used.
Honey is not vegan
