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.

CORN PUDDING

Yield Makes 8 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds frozen corn kernels, thawed
Whole milk as needed (about 1 cup)
6 eggs, separated
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Chihuahua,* Monterey Jack, or Cheddar cheese
1 poblano chile, roasted, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch strips
Half of a red bell pepper, cut into strips
*Chihuahua, a white cow's-milk cheese, also known as asadero or Oaxaca cheese, becomes soft and stringy when heated and is therefore good for melting. An unaged Monterey Jack is a good substitute.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish and set aside. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, puree the corn with only enough milk to make a smooth puree, not to exceed 1 cup. With the machine running, add egg yolks, one at a time, and process 30 seconds after each addition. With the machine running, add the sugar a little at a time and continue processing until mixture is lighter in color and sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Add butter and process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder; fold into corn mixture. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form and fold into corn mixture, alternating with the shredded cheese. Pour into the prepared baking dish and garnish with strips of chile and red bell pepper. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.

INDIAN CORN PUDDING



Indian Corn Pudding image

I had never tried Indian Corn Pudding before I went up to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center here in Albuquerque. This is another of Richard Hetzler's creations. I rarely, if ever eat eggs or dairy, but wanted to try a little taste. It was good, but I think I would like the corn to be a bit crunchier as I found it kind of chewy. If I did make this I would make it Vegan. Please note, I didn't include the grilling time for the corn in this recipe.
