Categories     dessert

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups whole milk
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus for greasing baking dish
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup blackstrap molasses
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup golden raisins
6 Braeburn, Rome or Empire apples, peeled and cored
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
Zest of 1/2 lemon and juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Grease a shallow 2- to 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter.
  • For the pudding: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and butter, and warm over low heat until the butter melts. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk a little of the milk-butter mixture with the molasses; whisk this into the cornmeal mixture. Add all of the cornmeal mixture to the saucepan and whisk until the ingredients are fully integrated. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in some of the cornmeal mixture to temper the eggs. Pour everything back into the saucepan and gently whisk in the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and raisins. Empty the saucepan into the prepared baking dish and bake until the pudding looks like a slightly moist cornbread or a steamed pudding, 2 hours.
  • For the apples: Cut each of the apples into 8 to 10 equal-sized wedges. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the apples and stir to coat. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon from time to time, until the apples are tender and yield slightly when pierced with a knife tip. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and ginger, and stir to blend. Keep warm while the pudding cooks.
  • Once the pudding is cooked, set it aside to cool. Top with the apples and serve with vanilla ice cream.

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 eggs
4 cups whole milk
½ cup corn meal
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup molasses
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon dry ginger
¼ teaspoon allspice
pinch of nutmeg
2/3 cup golden raisins
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter to grease the pan
Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional but highly recommended)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Beat eggs in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a 6 quart pot, heat milk to hot, do not boil. Slowly add in corn meal and whisk continually until all of the corn meal is added. Cook for 10 minutes on a low simmer, stirring occasionally. Be careful that it does not stick and burn to the bottom of the pan.
  • Remove from heat and add all other ingredients except the beaten eggs. Mix to combine.
  • Temper the eggs by slowly adding some of the hot pudding a little at a time to the eggs, stirring as you go (about a cup total). Then add the egg mixture to the pot and stir.
  • Pour mixture into a buttered 6-cup casserole dish and place the casserole dish in a water bath. Bake for about one hour and 30 minutes. Pudding should be set up and somewhat firm. If the center is a bit loose, that is OK.
  • Let the pudding rest for 15 minutes, then serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

INDIAN PUDDING



Indian Pudding image

The name for this time-honored dessert probably is derived from the fact that it was prepared with cornmeal, which the early American settlers strongly associated with the Indians. Similar in texture to thick porridge, this easy-to-make classic is great on a cold day when you want something warm, comforting and sweet.

NEW ENGLAND INDIAN PUDDING



New England Indian Pudding image

This recipe was inspired by traditional New England Indian pudding. My version is made in the slow cooker instead of being baked for hours in the oven. If the molasses flavor is too strong, cut the amount to 1/3 cup. -Susan Bickta, Kutztown, Pennsylvania

MY BEST AND EASY INDIAN PUDDING



My Best and Easy Indian Pudding image

I have been making Indian pudding for ages, since I was 12 in fact. My first recipe, for the two years that I used it, came from Yankee Magazine and while it tasted good it was far too firm, nearly slice-able. Ever since that first year I made Indian pudding I have been the designated maker when in the country. I have used and tried many many recipes in 31 years and none really were what I was looking for. I wanted that soft consistency that did not whey when cooked. I have seen hundreds of recipes stating that it should whey (separate a bit) and I just do not like it. So I set out to do my own and in an easier way. Most New Englanders I know, though some do, would not dream of adding raisins, dried or fresh apples, nuts, eggs or tapioca though I have seen recipes with all of these and worse. This is heart warming, fragrant, a bit spicy and a pudding with that lovely soft consistency. Can I give exact cooking times? No, sorry, but just as flour, all corn meal will take it's own time so I will work here with consistencies not times. This is an all stove top method and I made one last night while watching a tv program. I simply came out to the kitchen on the commercials to stir. The key is keeping the stove on low once it has been turned to low. We also love this for breakfast and would never serve with whipped cream. Go anywhere in Maine and you will get ice cream on it as it should be! This is a 'not too sweet' version as most use sugars and molasses and I do not. I have never had a lump in my pudding using this recipe. I have had Indian pudding since I was 2, one bowl and I am in heaven I just know it. This looks like many steps though it really isn't and is a no fuss recipe. This is a good make ahead one too. Enjoy! c.2006

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups milk
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup molasses
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Using a non stick (or heavy bottomed) sauce pan add milk and heat on medium heat until nearly bubbling at the edges and steaming.
  • Slowly whisk in the meal and whisk slowly until the meal is suspended in the milk, meaning none hanging out at the bottom of the pot. Continue whisking off and on until it reaches a medium thick hot cereal consistency. Again you *can* walk away and whisk every 5 minutes or so.
  • Turn stove to low heat and continue to whisk off and on while it thickens. No need to be afraid. I have left it unattended for over 10 minutes and it will not scorch, lump or stick.
  • When it reaches 'thick hot cereal' stage, stir in remaining ingredients. I usually whisk. Mix well to combine evenly.
  • Leave pudding on low, stirring/whisking occasionally until thickened a bit more; 10-15 minutes approximately.
  • Turn off heat and let the pan sit until it has cooled down half way, then cover with the lid and let it 'set.' Times will vary with setting. Last night it was 15 minutes or so and in 2 hours I could upturn the pan. Refrigerate and reheat gently; I use the microwave for individual servings.
  • I used the high end of the cook time and will depend on your corn meal, heat of stove, etc -- I have seen many recipes making this pudding appear scary; stand at stove and never stop whisking the entire time. Fiddley sticks!

Time 4h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups milk
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup molasses
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoons ground cloves
3 cups half and half
One 3inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9 x 5 x 3 inch Pyrex loaf pan.
  • Combine the milk and cornmeal in a medium stainless or enamel saucepan. Cook over moderate heat, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring until it is as thick as oatmeal.
  • Add the sugar, brown sugar, molasses, salt, butter, cloves and 2 cups of the half and half. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture back to a boil and transfer to the prepared loaf pan.
  • Place inside a larger pan and pour in boiling water until it rises halfway up the sides of the loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour, stirring once after the first half hour.
  • Press the grated ginger against a fine sieve or squeeze it in a square of cheesecloth to extract 1 or 2 tablespoons of juice. After the pudding has baked for 1 hour, add the ginger juice and the remaining cup of half and half and stir to mix. Bake for an additional hour, stirring again after half an hour. Serve immediately in small bowls or cups, or store in the refrigerator and reheat, stirring, over low heat.
