Add a few drops of rose water to the syrup and set it aside to cool.

In the same pot, boil 500 ml milk and then add 75 g of fine semolina while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Add 4 tablespoons of sugar to the semolina mixture and stir well.

Once thickened, add 1/4 teaspoon of rose water and mix.

Grease a dish and pour the hot semolina mixture into it, spreading evenly.

Let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 3-4 hours until set.

Whip 1 cup of cold whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream over the chilled semolina base and garnish with chopped pistachios.

Cut into squares and serve, optionally drizzling with the cooled syrup.
