Basbousa? The Basbousa Recipe and...
Ingredients
- 150 grams of milk powder (I recommend the Nido brand)
- 180 grams semolina
- 167 grams ghee (clarified butter) or 120 grams butter
- 100 grams sugar
- 160 grams ashta (you can use the cream we’ll prepare, or store-bought Neste and Puck)
- 155 grams condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Optional: vanilla, rose, or orange blossom water
Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, toast the milk powder until it turns a light caramel color (10–15 min).
- For the ashta, mix all the ingredients thoroughly in a saucepan, then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Once it comes to a boil, stir for another 30 seconds, then remove from the heat.
- Mix the melted ghee or butter with the semolina and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Mix 100 grams of the toasted milk powder with the remaining ingredients.
- Pour half of the mixture into a greased pan and bake for 10–12 minutes.
- Add 3 tablespoons of milk to the other half, mix well, and transfer to a piping bag.
- For the cream, mix the ingredients thoroughly in a saucepan before placing it on the stove.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once it comes to a boil, cook for another 30 seconds, then remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Add the remaining ashta cream to this mixture and stir.
- Spread the cream over the cake you’ve removed from the oven.
- Then carefully pipe and spread the remaining cake batter. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes this time. As soon as you take it out of the oven, pour condensed milk (like syrup, so it spreads evenly everywhere / 100 g) over it and let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the reserved 50 grams of toasted milk powder over the cake and serve while it’s still warm! Enjoy :) You can prepare the cream fillings the night before and store them in the refrigerator.
