Method

Step 1 of 4

Place 1 1/2 cups of the sugar and 3/4 cup water into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture boils. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Set syrup aside.

Step 2 of 4

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 9-cup capacity baking dish. Pulse corn flakes in a food processor until chopped. Add butter and pulse until combined. Spread and press half the corn flake mixture over the base of prepared baking dish. Refrigerate until required.

Step 3 of 4

Combine milk, cream, remaining sugar, semolina and cornflour in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir with a whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture just comes to the boil and thickens. Remove from heat and stir through rosewater essence. Spoon half the custard mixture over the corn flake base. Sprinkle cheese over custard. Spoon remaining custard over cheese. Finish with remaining cornflake crumbs.

Step 4 of 4

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and just set. Spoon into bowls and serve with orange slices, pistachios and drizzled with syrup.
