Cornmeal Pudding

Jamaican Dessert Recipes




Cornmeal pudding is an age-old favorite, and it has been cooked and eaten in Jamaica from long before we had modern stoves and ovens. Today it is easy to make.
We eat it hot or cold, and It can be an anytime snack or a dessert topped with cream, coconut cream, or ice cream. 

Jamaican Cornmeal Pudding

There are many variations on the basic recipe ... when you make it just follow the basics and do your own thing. Omit anything you don't like and add anything you want to try ... mixed fruit instead of raisins, white sugar instead of brown, or more or less of any of the spices to suit your taste.

I always keep  a big bottle of raisins or mixed fruit soaking in rum and often use this instead of plain raisins.

  • If the mixture is too thick to pour, add more coconut milk or water and stir, a little bit at a time until it can pour easily.
  • Butter the glass dish or cake tin, and pour mixture in.
