Ingredients

1 1/2 cup semolina. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. * 1/4 cup coconut flakes. 1/2 cup unsalted butter. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1 cup yogurt. Frozen Rolo chocolate- or any caramel chocolate- for filling 

For drizzling

1 cup granulated sugar. 1 cup water. A dash of vanilla powder. 

Instructions

In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients. Add melted butter and yogurt. Mix until very well combined. Fill your cupcake holes with 1.5 tablespoon if the batter, add a Rolo chocolate, then cover with another 1.5 tablespoon of the batter. Repeat until all the batter is gone, mine filled only 11 not 12. Bake in a pre heated 350F oven until it starts to brown from the edges, then turn on the broiler for 5 more minutes until it is golden brown. Keep an eye on it, will take from 20-25 minutes and be careful not to overcook or it will turn hard and super crunchy. Meanwhile prepare the simple syrup by combining all the ingredients, bring to a boil , reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes. When the basbousa is done, drizzle with simple syrup while both are hot. Let it cool down and come to room temperature. Enjoy!! 

Notes

* The use of coconut flakes is optional see the post for details.
