How To Make Cream of Wheat Halwa | Foodie Nation x JennaG The Hijabi TT

Fellow foodie ‪@JennaGTheHijabiTT‬ gives us a crash course into making Cream of Wheat Halwa for Eid:
INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups cream of wheat
2 cups evaporated milk
8 oz margarine
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup condensed milk
1 cup dried fruits (raisins, sultanas, cherries) - this can be adjusted based on preference
There are two ways this can be done:
METHOD #1 (My preference):
1. Add water, evaporated milk, condensed milk, sugar, margarine, salt and cinnamon to a pot on low/medium heat. Allow sugar and margarine to melt and keep the mixture warm.
2. In a dry iron pot, add cream of wheat and parch on low/medium heat until golden brown. This can take a few minutes. Be sure to continuously stir to prevent burning.
3. Carefully add the milk mixture to the pot with the parched cream of wheat while mixing continuously.
4. Add dried fruits.
5. Reduce heat and stir until the mixture leaves the side of the pot.
6. Empty mixture into a greased baking dish and smoothen out the surface.
7. Set aside and allow to cool
METHOD #2 (More traditional way):
1. Add water, evaporated milk, condensed milk, sugar, salt and cinnamon to a pot on low/medium heat. Allow sugar to melt and keep the mixture warm.
2. In a dry iron pot, add cream of wheat and parch on low/medium heat until golden brown. This can take a few minutes. Be sure to continuously stir to prevent burning. Set aside once golden brown.
3. In another pot, on low/medium heat melt the margarine then add the parched cream of wheat. Cook for 5-6 minutes while stirring continuously.
4. Carefully add the milk mixture to the pot with the parched cream of wheat and margarine while mixing continuously.
5. Add dried fruits.
6. Reduce heat and stir until the mixture leaves the side of the pot.
7. Empty mixture into a greased baking dish and smoothen out the surface.
8. Set aside and allow to cool.

🌸 just made sugar free version of this, the family loved it So I used ground nutmeg, cardamom crushed seeds as taste is better, ground cinnamon, a bay leaf 1 only, fresh ginger pealed, chopped & pounded, use as much as you like. I used 1 tin evaporated milk, to which I added water after 2/3 of cup and let it simmer gently with sultans. Then I dry roasted the cream of wheat till it was lovely golden brown colour because I love darker colour later. I used real butter because I do healthy keto, so I have to use fresh unsalted butter I used skinny syrups in vanilla caramel cream 1/4 cup, note it comes in different varieties of flavours. I used powdered stevia granulated sweetener, 4 tablespoons, with 1 teaspoon fresh vanilla bean paste to very end as I mix it all together. I made less so I used 1 1/4 cup cream of wheat, 4-5oz butter, I tin of evaporated milk & 2/3 cup of water, use more water if required. 1 cup of fruit, I chose sultans because it’s softer than currants. I made less so there was no temptation to eat everything lol and I shared. With fresh butter & milk and fresh spices this makes all the difference to the taste & I was so pleased with results No one guessed it was keto friendly 🎉

[@sunitafisher4758]

🌸 sweeten it to your taste, so use two tablespoons of sweetener with less than 1/4 of skinny syrup 🪔✨

[@zeneeshamohammedabdool7084]

I usually add diced butter to the parched cream of wheat... then add raisins and cherries... parch it a bit then add milk mixture. Elychee and clove adds more flavor.

[@arleneameerali4827]

Love it with Elychee and cloves, I use my geandmother's recipe though. Instead of butter I use Ghee.

[@sbludba]

Hi Kezzi , I think the other recipe you were talking about is Carrot Halwa which is mostly made with milk and of course carrots and cardamom/elaichi :/sugar/ginger and sometimes khoa /concentrated milk solids but no cream of wheat .

[@kezziannemiller5482]

[@yungblas4760]

Butter and cream of wheat go in first then on and of the heat until the color is good then milk water and fruits go in for a while until softened then the condensed milk sugar salt and cinnamon so that it is not too caramelized but just right, MIX WELL then transfer to pan

[@Reza-1223]

Never knew about this form of halwa. We use eggs and milk with much more spices and essence in our halwa. Carrot halwa is different though, needs ghee and some rasins, pistachios, cashew nuts, cardamom,milk and Khoa and sugar. Its very nice. ❤🙏

[@vijetapersad1011]

Lovely Jenna...💕halwa

[@juliealexis8510]

Oh I love these ladies , happy to see you guys together ,I don't like cream of wheat , Jenna can I use flour kezzy great job as always , Jenna you are such a wonderful & humble person 👌👍❤️ the colab .

[@savi7493]

Hi , you can also use chick peas flour also known as besan flour which is available at most Indian supermarket in North America.

[@commess1]

Want to try this. Can I use less sugar though? Seems like it will be really, really sweet.

[@sintrarampersad1005]

[@sherrymohammed4969]

As Salaam wa alikum can you make ras gulla

[@fusionchef1]

hello, thank you for the the recipe, as I think it would be an excellent item to make with my high school culinary classes. Since class is only 45 minutes and the general highschool student cares more about stuffing their face than learning I believe the characteristics of this recipe makes it doable especially if cooking the cream of wheat the day before. A few questions though: Is the cream of wheat variety of Halwa localized to trinidad or is it found through the rest of the middle east as well? I see many of versions of halwa being served hot/warm using a bowl to quickly mold it. What is the most traditional method of formal presentation for this Halwa? hot? cold? Also regarding the finished product. Exactly how pronounced should the sweetness be? During my first test run of the recipe I found it exceptionally sweet, but this may be the result of the dried cherries and golden raisins I used. Next run i was considering cutting back the sugar a touch and adding more fruit.

[@faridakhan1746]

[@carlaclement4229]

Hello Kezzianne and Jenna, thank you for your recipe. I love cream of wheat but I never had Halwa either in all my years in Trinidad. I certainly will try it once I can find cream of wheat after lockdown. Can you guys make baklava please and thank you in advance. Please keep safe and as usual bless up. One love ya'll 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽

[@DC-vw7yf]

Is this the "instant" cream of wheat or the "2 1/2 minute" cream of wheat or just the regular cream of wheat?

[@fusionchef1]

from checking the cream of wheat website (yes there is such a thing) original is 2 1/2 minutes with there being a faster 1 minute version which i think you should avoid for this.

[@kevinb940]

Big fan of both of you all

[@crissysweet1959]

🇹🇹 ♥️ delicious.

[@safiyyah.h.persaud3977]

She smart, she put u to turn

This came out extremely sweet. I will have to alter the recipe. Also, it was too much liquid to the dry ingredients.

[@zaleshabridgemohan5788]

It looks delicious...but I refuse to eat Halwa without Cardamom..it's a must...more cardamom and less cinnamon...that's just my take on Halwa 😋
