Maamoul Tart Bil-Kishta

Ingredients

For the dough:

• 2 cups semolina or 320 g
• 1 cup fine semolina or 160 g
• ¾ cup ghee or 150 g, softened
• ½ cup caster sugar or 100 g
• 1 teaspoon ground mahlab
• 1 teaspoon yeast
• 1 tablespoon rose water
• 1 tablespoon blossom water

For the filling:

• 2 cups milk or 500 ml
• 1 tin NESTLÉ® Cream or 170 g
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 6 slices toast bread, throw away crusts and cut pulp to cubes
• 1 tablespoon blossom water

Preparation

• In a bowl, combine grain and fine semolina, ghee, sugar, mahlab and yeast. Mix the ingredients well then cover and set aside in room temperature for at least 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, combine milk liquid, NESTLÉ® Cream and sugar and bring to boil, then add the cubed bread pulps over and simmer over low heat for 3 minutes with constant stirring, until the mixture is very smooth and thick. Add blossom water, stir and set aside to cool.
• Add rose water and blossom water to the dried maamoul dough mixture; knead by hands until the dough starts to hold slighty together.
• Divide maamoul dough into small portions and press each portion over a bottom and sides of small tartlet and bake at a 250ºC preheated oven for 12-13 minutes or until yellow golden in color. Then set aside to cool.
• Spoon some of the cooled cream mixture over each of the cooled maamoul tartlet. Top with fruits slices, toasted almonds and honey.
