Farina undergoes an unexpected transformation from hot cereal to airy pudding in this tart-sweet Latvian dessert, which is typically served with milk poured on top. This recipe first appeared in our May 2011 issue, with the article Riga Revisited.
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened cranberry juice
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 cup farina or cream of wheat
- Milk, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Bring juice and sugar to a boil in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in farina, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, and process on medium-high until thick and doubled in volume, about 12 minutes. Serve in bowls with milk poured over top, if desired.
