Steps

1

In a pot, combine the milk, semolina, and sugar. Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from clumping or sticking.
2

When the mixture starts to thicken, add the orange blossom water and the mastic (crush the mastic with a little sugar before adding). Once the mixture thickens, pour it into a Pyrex or any serving dish.
3

Whip the cream, then add the clotted cream (ashta) and mix together. Once the Layali Lubnan base has cooled, spread the cream mixture on top. Garnish with chopped pistachios. When serving, cut into pieces and drizzle with simple syrup to taste.
