Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 2 min.

The caramel

Put 120 ml caster sugar and 4 tablespoons water into a small saucepan on high heat.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Make a light caramel.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Divide the caramel between the ramekins and leave to cool.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

The semolina

Choose a large, non-stick saucepan. Pour in 1 litre whole milk and add 72.24 ml butter and 80 ml caster sugar. Put on high heat.

Stage 5 - 10 min.

Bring to the boil.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Take off the heat and add 250 ml semolina (fine grade).

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Whisk until it thickens to a purée-like texture, not too thick.

Add 200 ml Real custard sauce (crème anglaise) and mix well.

Stage 9 - 1 min.

Then add 150 ml raisins.

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Divide the semolina mixture between the ramekins, leave to cool, then refrigerate at least overnight to allow the caramel in the bottom to liquefy.

Stage 12

Serve in the ramekin (as a quick dessert for children, for example), or turned out on a small plate.

Remarks

You can soak the raisins in rum or another alcohol of your choice, but this is not essential.
