The Yummy Scoop

Sweet Pistachio Picnic Pie

This dish is traditionally prepared with sugar milk and semolina. The toping is super yummy pistachios topped with syrup. Here is the super yummy recipe

Semolina Pudding Layer

  • 1 cup Fine Semolina
  • 5 cups Milk
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Mastic optional but recommended
  • 1 tsp Orange Blossom Water optional but recommedned.

Ashta Topping

  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp Corn Starch
  • 2 tbsp Sugar

Topping

  • 3/4 cup Crushed Pistachios

Simple Syrup

  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 tsp Orange Blossom Water adjust to your preference
  • Mix together all the ashta ingredients in a pot with a whisk without any heat at first until there are no lumps. Then, bring to medium-high heat and keep whisking until it starts to thicken which should take about 5 minutes. It should look creamy and pourable. If you like, add a drizzle of orange blossom water at this point and stir.
  • Remove ashta from pot and place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to avoid the ashta developing a skin layer on top. Let it cool to the side while working on the semolina pudding.
  • Add all the semolina pudding ingredients but the orange blossom water in a pot and stir together on medium-high heat until it thickens to a nice consistency that is pourable which can take about 10 minutes or so. Add the orange blossom water last and stir.
  • Pour the semolina pudding into a 9 by 11 pan and spread it out evenly. Let it cool for 10 minutes. Then, layer the ashta on top and spread that out.
  • Top with the crushed pistachios all over the top. Add more if necessary.
  • Cover and let this cool in the fridge for 2 hours. Make the syrup in the meantime by mixing together the sugar and water. Let it come to a simmer for about 5-10 minutes until it slightly thickens. Add a hint of orange blossom water if you like and stir. Then drizzle all over the dessert as much as you like or drizzle to each person’s slice. This is up to you.
  • This dessert needs a simple syrup as it is not sweetened at all without the syrup. So be sure to serve with it drizzled with syrup! Store extra syrup in a jar and keep in the fridge.

  • One thing I have actually noticed is the fact there are plenty of beliefs regarding the banks intentions whenever talking about property foreclosures. One fantasy in particular is the fact the bank would like your house. The lending company wants your hard earned money, not your property. They want the amount of money they lent you having interest. Avoiding the bank is only going to draw any foreclosed realization. Thanks for your post.

  • I have observed that of all sorts of insurance, medical care insurance is the most dubious because of the discord between the insurance plan company’s obligation to remain afloat and the customer’s need to have insurance plan. Insurance companies’ profits on wellbeing plans have become low, as a result some companies struggle to gain profits. Thanks for the concepts you discuss through this website.
