Znoud el sit

Method

1. 1 Heat the milk with semolina and a little sugar for 12 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a creamy ashta.
2. 2 Let the ice cream sit for 2 hours to ensure it's firm; soft ice cream will release oil when frying and splatter dangerously.
3. 3 Cook the remaining sugar with 130 ml of water, lemon juice, and orange blossom water for 8 minutes to make a syrup, then let it cool.
4. 4 Place a spoonful of ice cream on the edge of the filo sheet, then fold both sides and roll it tightly into a tube.
5. 5 Coat the termites with water, then deep-fry them at 170 degrees Celsius for 90 seconds until lightly golden.
6. 6 Dip the hot tube into the cooled syrup for 15 seconds, then sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
