National Indian Pudding Day is upon us, and if you’ve never had this delicious, native American dessert, it’s something special.
This is a warming, hearty dessert it flavors emulating those of pumpkin pie.
Indian pudding is a baked dessert wit the baking dish sitting in water, keeping the pudding from drying out & losing its silky texture.
