Vanilla Orange Semolina Pudding
This Vanilla and Orange Semolina Pudding is gently sweet with mellow flavors. It only uses a few ingredients and comes together in 15-20 minutes. I opted to serve this with a warm Vanilla Pear Compote, but you can use other fruits. If you want a light dessert or breakfast, try this pudding!
This is a Small Batch Semolina Pudding for 1 person, just multiply the recipe for more servings!

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 100 ml Milk Dairy or plant-based
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
- 1/8 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Sugar or Honey Add more, if desired
- 1 tsp Orange Zest
- 1 tbsp Butter

Instructions
Semolina Pudding
- Mix the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, honey, butter and orange zest in a small pot. Bring to a boil.
- Slowly mix in the semolina. The pudding will begin to thicken. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Whip whipping/heavy cream to firm peaks. Gradually add it to the semolina pudding. Combine well.
- This will lighten the pudding and it make it more airy. You can leave it out, but it won't be as light.
- Serve warm or chilled, with the warm Vanilla Pear Compote.
Vanilla Pear Compote
- Add the pear (or other fruit), vanilla and sugar to a pan on medium heat. Cook until the fruit has softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Notes
Pear Compote:
- You can add some water for a more liquid compote.
- Feel free to mash some of the fruit, if you like a variety of texture.
- Adding some butter will give some richness.
