Servings: 4

Ingredients

Water
4 cups
Semolina
1 cup
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup
Berries (e.g., lingonberries, cranberries, or raspberries)
2 cups, plus extra for garnish
Salt
1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium heat.
  2. Gradually sprinkle in 1 cup of semolina while stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon to ensure there are no lumps.
  3. Once all the semolina is incorporated, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 2 cups of berries (reserve some berries for garnish), and continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the vispipuuro cool for a few minutes.
  6. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, vigorously beat the mixture until it becomes thick, fluffy, and light in texture, achieving that signature whipped consistency.
  7. Serve the vispipuuro warm or chilled in individual bowls, garnished with additional berries on top for a splash of color and flavor.
