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.

NEW ENGLAND INDIAN PUDDING

CARAMEL INDIAN PUDDING



Caramel Indian Pudding image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     weekday, dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups milk
1/3 cup stone-ground yellow corn meal
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sweet butter
2 tablespoons rum
2 eggs
Pinch of salt
Pinch of nutmeg
2/3 cup half and half Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Scald milk in a deep three-quart saucepan. Gradually stir in the cornmeal, taking your time so the cornmeal does not lump. Cook over medium heat, stirring from time to time, until the mixture has thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • While the cornmeal is cooking, spread the sugar in a heavy-bottomed skillet and mix with one-half cup water. Set it over medium heat. Watch carefully once the sugar has dissolved because it will then begin to caramelize. The caramel is done when it becomes a uniform honey brown color. Do not allow the caramel to darken beyond that and remove it from the heat immediately.
  • Bring the cornmeal mixture to a simmer and slowly pour in the caramel mixture. It will bubble up but if your pan is deep it will not boil over. Stir over low heat until the caramel is completely dissolved in the cornmeal. Off heat, add butter, rum, eggs, salt and nutmeg.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Pour the pudding mixture in a buttered two-quart casserole and place in the oven.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Stir in half and half and continue baking for one-and-a-half hours. Serve warm or chilled with whipped cream or ice cream, as desired.

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

Categories     Breakfast

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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the pudding will taste. This is especially true for the cornmeal, which should be freshly ground if possible.
  • Do not overcook the pudding: Overcooked pudding will be thick and gummy. Cook it just until it is set, about 1 hour.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to firm up.
  • Serve the pudding with nutmeg ice cream: The nutmeg ice cream is the perfect complement to the sweet and creamy pudding.

Conclusion:

Indian pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a classic American dish that has been enjoyed by families for generations. With its simple ingredients and rich flavor, Indian pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
