SEMOLINA HALVA WITH ICE CREAM

In a pot, heat milk, water, and sugar on low heat until sugar dissolves. In a separate pot, roast pine nuts, semolina, and butter while stirring constantly until golden brown. Carefully pour in the syrup mixture (it may splatter). Continue stirring and cook until the halva reaches a pilaf-like consistency. Let it rest for 30 minutes. Fill a small bowl halfway with halva, add 1–2 scoops of ice cream, then cover with more halva. Invert onto a plate and serve.
