    Recipe Introduction

    American Indian pudding is a delicious custard made from molasses, cornmeal, milk, butter, spices, eggs, and sometimes apples. Once baked, Indian pudding looks like an inedible mush of all the ingredients, but after one bite you will definitely be craving more! This scrumptious recipe has been around for centuries, first created by the colonists. When they arrived in the New World, they dreamed of the plum puddings of England but did not have the correct ingredients to make it. Using what they had available to them, they substituted Indian cornmeal for wheat flower, thus creating the first Indian pudding. Indian pudding is still a popular dessert around New England and other parts of the country. Celebrate your American heritage today and enjoy some Indian pudding on National Indian Pudding Day!

    Maple Indian Pudding


    • 5 cups whole milk
    • 2 large egg yolks
    • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
    • 2 tablespoons light (mild-flavored) molasses
    • 2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
    • 2 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 3/4 cup coarse yellow cornmeal (also known as corn grits or polenta)
    • Heavy cream
    • Additional maple syrup

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 325ºF. Butter an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish. Whisk 1 cup milk and egg yolks to blend in small bowl; set aside. Combine 1/3 cup maple syrup, molasses, cinnamon sticks, ginger, salt and remaining 4 cups milk in heavy large deep saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally (be careful it doesn't boil over).

    Gradually whisk in cornmeal. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until very thick, whisking constantly, about 8 minutes. Quickly whisk in milk-egg mixture and continue to whisk until pudding returns to boil, about 2 minutes longer.

    Transfer pudding to prepared dish. Bake pudding 20 minutes. Stir to blend in crusty top. Bake until bubbling and crusty on top, about 20 minutes longer. Stir in crusty top again.

    Spoon pudding into bowls, discarding cinnamon sticks. Drizzle with cream and additional maple syrup.
