Guamanian Pudding Dessert image

I used to have co-worker who was Guamanian and she made the most delicious foods. She often brought her Guamanian Pudding to work parties as a treat. Well, I never did get the recipe from her, but I was delighted to find this version in a community cookbook. Once I tried it, I knew I had found the right recipe. You may use homemade or storebought slices of pound cake for the base of this dessert, whichever you prefer. Note: Plan ahead when preparing this, as it requires time to chill the pudding before you can assemble the dessert.

Time 25m

Yield 10-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 2/3 cups water
1 can Carnation Evaporated Milk (12 oz. size)
1/4 cup margarine, cut into pieces
6 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup water
1 baked poundcake, cut into thin slices (about 1/4-1/2" thick)
ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine 1 2/3 cups water, evaporated milk, margarine, sugar, vanilla, and eggs.
  • Mix together the cornstarch and the 1/3 cup water; add to the mixture in the pan.
  • Heat over medium-low (about#3-4 on an electric stove), stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and has developed a pudding texture (it will coat the back of a wooden spoon)- this takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Chill in a covered bowl in the fridge until cool- pudding should thicken a bit when cool.
  • Line a 9x13" glass casserole dish with thin slices of pound cake, fitting the slices in so the entire pan base is covered.
  • Spread the pudding over the pound cake.
  • Dust entire surface with ground cinnamon.
  • Chill, covered, at least 1 hour and until ready to serve.
  • Notes: This pudding doesn't harden up as much as other puddings- it thickens, but retains a soft, slightly pourable consistency like a trifle custard or like zabaglione.
  • This dessert will not have a"tall" appearance- make sure your cake slices are cut only about 1/4-1/2" thick.
