Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • Raisins or chopped nuts for added texture Optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • In a saucepan, combine cornmeal, molasses, maple syrup, milk, butter, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 10-15 minutes). Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Gradually add the beaten eggs to the mixture, stirring continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. If desired, sprinkle raisins or chopped nuts on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the Indian Pudding to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Indian Pudding is often served with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, maple syrup, a warm whiskey sauce, fresh fruits (Sliced bananas or berries), a drizzle of caramel sauce, chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts), or granola. You can experiment with different toppings you like.
