Bring the milk to a boil with vanilla sugar and salt, stir in the semolina while stirring, and let it swell in the residual heat for 10-20 minutes. Let it cool. Beat the egg yolks and sugar until frothy, add the almonds and almond oil, and stir in the porridge a spoonful at a time. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold in loosely. Wash, peel, and chop the fruit. Grease a baking dish, pour in half of the porridge, spread the fruit on top, and top with the semolina porridge. Bake in the oven at 200°C. Serve with vanilla sauce, if desired. Tip: You can also replace the semolina with 75g of millet.
