Break the cheese into small pieces so it melts easily.
Toast the butter and semolina for 5 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the cheese and stir until melted, without lumps in the strands.
Add the sweetened milk and cook over low heat for 6 minutes.
Let the halva rest for 5 minutes and serve hot with a spoon.
💡 Tip: Melting the cheese over medium heat lets the fat spread through the dessert without separating.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm on dessert plates with cinnamon sprinkled over the top.
