1

Custard Sauce: Heat the milk. Mix the egg yolks and sugar. Pour the hot milk over and mix well. Return to the heat and stir with a spatula until the sauce thickens.

The sauce is ready when it coats the spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and let cool.
3

In a pan, melt a pat of butter. Add the semolina and cook until it turns golden brown.
4

Mix the milk, water, cardamom, saffron, and sugar. Pour everything over the semolina. Cook, stirring, until the semolina completely absorbs the liquid.
5

Place in a rectangular dish and press down lightly.
6

Let cool or chill to your liking. Cut into squares. Coarsely chop the cashews and pistachios.
7

In a plate or ramekin, place a small ladle of custard sauce. Add the rose syrup. Then the semolina cake and finish with the nuts.
