Ricotta Pudding (Hoşmerim)


1 l milk * 1 1/2 tbsp flour * 1 egg * 4 cups sugar * 250 g wheat semolina * 1/2 kg lor cheese (or ricotta) without salt * 150 g almonds * 1 tbsp oil

Put the milk on fire and add the flour, the beaten egg, the sugar, the semolina and the crumbled cheese and stir continuously with a wood spoon until the mixture gets thick. Let it boil for 1-2 minutes, take from the fire and place on a serving plate. Place the almonds in hot water for 30 minutes and peel them. Sauté the peeled almonds in the oil until they become brown. Place them on a paper towel to loose the excess of oil. Garnish thesweet with the almonds and put in the fridge for 1 hour. Serve cold.
In Turkey, this sweet is made with lor cheese which is very similar to ricotta.
