Question

What are some good add ins to a regular bowl of cream of wheat? AND/OR what are some other ways to use cream of wheat in recipes?

Oh the childhood favorite!  I love mine with butter, brown sugar, and maybe a splash of milk.  As for recipes, you may consider adding some to your pancake batter for some extra texture.

I love cream of wheat. I always mix in butter and sugar (a lot of each) and it tastes great!

Maple syrup or honey is great with cream of wheat...

Answer 4

Hiya Layla,

Semolina, also known as cream of wheat acts as the binding agent. I love using cream of wheat to make soy milk custards, puddings and rice sweets. You can vary the amount of cream of wheat or semolina to your desire. The more you use the firmer or thinker the consistancy.

This is a recipe for vanilla soy custard/pudding:

- boil vanilla soy milk in a bot over high heat on the stove

- add sugar (it you have a sweet tooth)

- very slowly add semolina while stirring gently

- return to simmer untill you can see the milk slightly thicken.

- stirr then pour into a baking dish to allow it to cool and set.

- I like to sprinkle it with oats on top.

** I've also tried this with chocolate soy milk and a bit more cream of wheate to make chocolate pudding

** or you can add cooked rice, to make a sweet soy rice pudding.

You may have to experiment a little with the amount of semolina. The more you add the firmer it will be.

Enjoy...

Actually Greek cuisine uses Cream of Wheat a lot (not the name brand, probably, but it's the same stuff, called semolina), especially for desserts. Maybe try one of these:
