Pit the dates and chop them into a paste.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Cook the milk and semolina for 8 minutes, stirring.
Add the date paste to the hot semolina so the pieces spread evenly.
Layer in cups with sesame and chill for 30 minutes.
💡 Tip: Soaking dates in hot water for 5 minutes makes the cup smoother.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold with toasted sesame scattered on top.
