Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, dissolve the flour and semolina in a little cold must to avoid lumps.
  2. Add the rest of the must, the sugar and the salt, then bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring.
  3. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring constantly, until the cream coats the spoon and has the look of a translucent jelly.
  4. Off the heat, stir in the crushed mastic with a little sugar and the vanilla.
  5. Pour the mixture into small bowls or a lightly dampened dish.
  6. Let it cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  7. Decorate with toasted almonds and a pinch of cinnamon before serving.

Variations and tips

Without mastic. If you don't have mastic, simply use an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract.
