Step 1
In a saucepan, combine 2 cups milk, 1 cup sugar, and 0.5 cup semolina. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbling, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup heavy cream. Let cool completely; the filling will thicken further as it cools.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 350°F. Gently separate the shredded wheat strands and spread them on a work surface. Brush with 0.5 cup melted butter.
Step 4
Divide the shredded wheat into 8 portions. Place a spoonful of filling along one edge of each portion, then roll up tightly into a log shape.
Step 5
Place rolls seam-side down in a baking dish. Bake until golden and crisp, about 25-30 minutes.
Step 6
Let cool for 10 minutes, then dust generously with ground pistachios before serving.
