1

First, prepare the simple syrup.
2

In a skillet over medium heat, add the ghee. Once melted, add the semolina and stir constantly until it turns golden brown.
3

Add the simple syrup directly to the pan and keep stirring until the semolina absorbs the syrup and thickens.
4

Add the milk and continue stirring until the mixture thickens and holds together. Set aside.
5

To make the cream layer, combine the sugar, cornstarch, milk, water, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Whisk well until smooth.
6

Place the mixture over medium heat and stir constantly until it thickens. Add the butter and stir until melted and fully incorporated.
7

The cream should be thick and smooth when finished.
8

In a small baking dish, spread the semolina mixture evenly, then add the cream layer on top.

Toast the shredded coconut in a pan for about a minute until golden, or leave it untoasted. Garnish the dessert with coconut, raisins, or your choice of nuts or fruit.
