Once a popular dessert (or breakfast) across the country, Indian Pudding is rarely seen outside of New England today but it deserves a comeback. youtu.be/RMSV5PVOA7Y?...

I have had it and I think it’s delicious!
-
Soooo goood!!!
-
Maybe don’t call it this colonizer bullshit name.
-
I love this stuff, but it’s getting harder to find even in New England. I watched Julia Child make it once. Don’t remember the details, but she baked it in the oven for hours, every now and then stirring in more cream.
-
I am a born and bred Bostonian. We got this dessert at Durgin Park. And Mom makes it every Thanksgiving.
-
That sounds delicious
-
Is it real INDIAN from India or fake Indian from columbus' mistake.
-
yay i love your channel
-
I'm a fan
-
My mother used to make this as a dessert.
-
Thanks for sharing this! I’m going to try it. We all know that early European settlers called Native Americans “Indians”. As kids we played cowboys and Indians. It’s nothing new! We shouldn’t be shocked! It’s American history. I’m a “Mick”! I’m not offended. It’s a recipe! Gimme a break!
-
I watched the video tonight, but man, it looks like cat puke.
As someone who cleans up cat vomit on the reg, there's no way I could get near this, and I say this as a person who has eaten a pig rectum pizza.
-
My father’s favorite. He always ordered it for dessert at Durgin Park.
-
I LOVE Indian Pudding!
-
Gifford's ice cream did a seasonal Indian Pudding flavor and it was fantastic (especially with another scoop of grapenut)
-
I grew up eating this and got the recipe from my own handed down copy of the cookbook you showed on YouTube. It is so much better without the eggs.
-
This looks like something I would love, but this level of cooking is from a slower time. Maybe over the holiday!
-
Corn Pudding? Maize Pudding?
Nah, let's stick with a problematic name. 🙄🙄
-
My mom, from northern NY, used to make this periodically. Memories!
-
THANK YOU!!
-
-
I love this stuff. Though it’s pretty unusual even here in New England.
-
Interesting but not sure I’ll try it 🤮
-
This would have to be irresistibly delightful or a very cold day experiment to have my oven on 4-5 hours. Ka-ching.
-
Very cool to learn about. Now I want to look up suet pudding my gramma used to make and serve with hard sauce (butter, sugar and titch of vanilla.)
-
Should the name be changed to Native American pudding or maybe Indigenous pudding?...
-
It may or may not deserve a less racist name.
-
Indian pudding as in from South Asia or Indian as in Columbus got lost? Cause that could be why it's forgotten.
-
Cool channel - have subscribed!👍🍲🍅🍐
-
I'm like that's not Indian, Can we please remember they thought that this was India When they were looking for spices to steal
-
I love it!
-
Hard pass.
-
It’s fabulous! This year, we’re making it with Marsh Hen brand coarse grits + trad yellow cornmeal. Exceptional flavor and texture. We all 🧡 IP here😊 ⭐️Great that you noted it’s a perfect breakfast.
-
"New England" is a lot of states, I've lived in "New England" for 30 years and I've neither seen nor heard of this.
-
Making this today! Love it!
-
I am amazed that India inspired a pudding recipe in the USA in 1828.
-
Watched the whole darn video and there is no receipe. Have to use the one I have. I am going to make this tho...I really love Indian Pudding.
-
Oh my...did you bring back a memory. After swim practice my Dad would sometimes take me to Howard Johnsons on the way home for Indian Pudding! I love the stuff. NOW..I'm going to have to make some today! Thank you for posting this!!
-
Wonderful. A heart attack mixed with diabetes for something that is going to come out looking exactly like it went in. 🤣
-
My husband just made this on National Indian Pudding Day last Thursday! We are in MA, of course!

Fantastic episode.
-
So glad to see you on Bluesky! My husband and I love your You Tube channel!
-
It's so good! I grew up in New England, and my grandmother made it. You can buy it in cans too, but it's impossible to find out here on the left coast. I should break down and learn how to make it someday. At least I can get Boston brown bread out here, and I have made that at home before.

Indigenous People Pudding.

I love Indian Pudding. My mom used to make it. Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe gets crazy & lazy in the 20th C. www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/new-...
New England Indian Pudding
This recipe was inspired by traditional New England Indian pudding. My version is made in the slow cooker instead of being baked for hours in the oven. If the molasses flavor is too strong, cut the am...
-
WTF?
-
I remember this as a kid in Maine. You could buy it in cans at Shaw’s.
-
Love Indian Pudding!
-
Years ago, I had it in a restaurant while visiting friends in New Hampshire. I liked it well enough to make it.
-
It’s delicious.
-
-
Max, you're right on both counts: looks disgusting but sounds delish. Well done.
-
📌
-
My favorite and haven’t had it in years! This might be the year!! Thank for the reminder!
-
I love seeing Indian Pudding, Grape Nut Pudding, Tapioca, etc all still on menus in Mass. I love them all.
-
This isn't an exact match to the Durgin Park cookbook but close enough... newengland.com/food/old-fas...
Old-Fashioned Durgin–Park Indian Pudding | Recipe
For many, this recipe for Durgin–Park Indian pudding, served warm and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, is the gold standard.
-
Big in Boston at Durgin Park
-
WAY too many ads. Yikes!
-
Why is this called ‘Indian’ ?
-
My husband grew up having Indian Pudding at Thanksgiving and we continued the tradition. Our children and grandchildren love it. We’ve introduced it to many over the years.
-

I miss enjoying this at the late Durgin Park.
-
woah hey you're on here!
-
Served with Vanilla ice cream Da best
-
Love love love Indian Pudding! (Or whatever 21st century name people come up with for it.)
-
Love it!
-
The first might have turned out if you baked it in cast iron on a lower heat
-
You make a big batch for dessert and have the rest for breakfast (just like apple piecough)
-
Central PA/ PA dutch has different version of Indian Corn Pudding that uses dried sweet corn and not cornmeal (Shout out Hanover's John Cope's). It was a favorite of mine at every community picnic. More side dish, less dessert. www.northcentralpa.com/features/coa...
Cope’s Dried Sweet Corn – A Thanksgiving Icon
In The Anthracite Coal Region and throughout Pennsylvania, we hold tradition in high esteem, particularly when it comes to our holiday meals. When families and friends sit down to celebrate
-
Indian or American?
-
I’ve had it— and never cared to have it again unless I was starving. 🤷🏻♂️
-
Is this anything like that British breakfast favorite spotted dick? Oh, for those of you that don’t know this is a real dish in England.
-
First time I had it was when I moved to Vermont. It is now a favorite dessert and a great choice whenever it's on the menu.
-
Good grief. The comments…..I watch you Max. 👍
-
I used to get Indian Pudding at The Village Restaurant in Essex when I was a kid. My gf made some last month. It was AMAZING! Just like I remembered it. And yes, vanilla ice cream is a great accompaniment with it!
-
I have never seen this in New England, but I'm gonna search for it.
-
Nothing indigenous about it and we can certainly call it hasty pudding. Still love it nonetheless.
-
I’m all kinds of confused
-
Excellent at Scales Restaurant in Portland, Maine…
-
the only thing I really miss about my school in Massachusetts is "Apple Brown Betty". never have seen it down South anywhere.
-
I can't believe it! I was raised in Maine for 18 years way back and we used to eat Indian pudding. Dang its been almost 60 years and I had forgotten all about it until this post.
-
I remember scooping Indian Pudding Ice Cream at Baskin Robbin’s back in the early 70s…
-
The monoculture ofcorn caused a disaster in Italy where my ancestors lived. They grew vast acres of it and most farmers ate it without knowing that the corn had to be boiled in ashes to release the vitamin B. The result was widespread pellagra and death and eventual migration to Brazil by millions.
-
You gotta watch this.
-
I think I would serve mine with a scoop of frozen custard.
-
Yummy! 😋 Thanks for sharing! ❤️🤗
-
Yay! I didn't know he was on Bluesky!
-
My grandma used to make this and it was called cornmeal pudding. She used maple syrup instead of molasses and cinnamon and nutmeg instead of ginger. I still make it every year. Now I use blue cornmeal from the Hopi Nation.
-
Yum!
-
I love it and enjoy making it.
-
NE girl here, from Mayflower roots. Indian pudding was one of my grandmother’s specialties.
-
I was just checking out recipes for this the other day
-
I G'd the recipe doesn't sound too bad............ thing is VERY HIGH in CARBS and calories!!! not a healthy treat as i'm on a low carb/low calorie diet............. ponders maybe i can make it w/ my ALMOND FLOUR us ppl on low carb diets use this instead of FLOUR.
-
Not something I ever imagined sitting here in Australia & watching for 20 minutes. I thought it was a greatly informative piece...& now I want to eat the pudding - which means I'll have to make it:-) Now my screen time is used up. Thanks, Max!
-
When I was a child in Rhode Island my mom made our favorite meal and dessert for our birthday. I always asked for her lasagna and INDIAN PUDDING. Love it.
-
Thank you for your intelligent and professional videos. They're delightful.
-
Used to get it at Elephant and Castle in Greenwich Village. SO GOOD.
-
Makes an amazing breakfast.
-
TY! Loved your video, and your candor as far as the looks of this one! LOL!! (:
-
My favorite dessert. Had as a kid at the Publick House in Massachusetts
-
I may try this recipe for Thanksgiving!! This video was so interesting. I knew many of the names as I live in New England.. Count Rumford sounded very familiar….his birthplace is one town away!!
-
I grew up in the Hudson Valley, and my grandma used to make this for us ... loved it!
-
Have been making it for ages! Still a staple here in MA; on the Cape.
-
I made a version of this a little over a month ago. The recipe I followed required a good bit of baking, 3 hours. I liked the layout of this cookbook. The pudding was pretty good especially with whipped cream.
-
OMG I had forgotten how much I love this. So delicious, especially served warm with a bit of vanilla ice cream on the side.
-
Hey Max! You're here!

The fondly remembered City Restaurant in LA used to do a spectacular version. You're right; it deserves a comeback; it's perfect for cold weather.
-
My mother made Indian pudding when I was younger and I remember it as delicious. I don’t think how it looked ever affected me - I imagine my mother gave it to me and I ate it because she told me it was good. Just discovered your channel with this post. Look forward to your history lessons.
-
I thought you might be here. Glad you are.
My wife and I absolutely adore your channel. It's our favourite thing to watch with weed and dinner.
-
Wow! I love this guy! He has the most interesting food channel in You Tube. So very happy to find him here on Bluesky!
-
I'd like to digest my food, inside my body, thank you very much.
-
My grandmother made this every thanksgiving. Hard sauce on the side.
-
It does deserve a comeback in New England. Just like the Indians.
-
We used to order that at Howard Johnsons.
-
🤔
-
wasn't this made with non-gmo-engineered corn originally?
-
My teeth ache with the memory of Indian Pudding's molasses sweetness. Sugar cubes taste less sweet.
-
So recipe from India?
-
Oh, yes!!!!
-
Haven't had this in decades, but I loved it as a kid
-
Have had this on my must-try list for ages... Can't wait to watch the video!
-
I make a version of this that's maple heavy (instead of the molasses). It's a hearty favorite in the household, for sure. Very yummy indeed!
-
Meaning Native American pudding . . . I thought it was pudding originating from India.
-
I had at the Harvard Club in Ny in the early 80s
-
With vanilla ice cream. Heaven! I’m a New Englander and you are bringing back very fond memories.
-
I make it every winter. It is great on one of our cold New Hampshire days.
-
Yeah, we don’t really talk about “Indian Summer” much anymore either.
-
My mom used to make this, so did her mom, and her mom's mom who was a native American from Martha's Vineyard.
-
That's a lot of white man history.
-
I grew up in Boston and absolutely love Indian pudding. Thank you for this reminder.
-
Durgin Park had the best Indian Pudding.
-
Oh my gosh! My dad has been gone over 20 years now, but yup, back in the day, EVERY Thanksgiving my mom made Indian Pudding and Grapenut Pudding for my dad. It really stunk the house up on top of my mom with her yearly serving of boiled turnip.
-
Looks yummy. Maybe even better as a dessert made with dried fruit like raisins, cherries, cranberries and topped with ice cream
-
There's an ice cream chain here in Maine called Fielder's Choice that does a "Baked Indian Pudding" flavor of ice cream. It's amazing!
-
Invented in Delhi or Mumbai ?
-
Fond memories of eating this at Durgin Park in Boston many years ago. I am a big fan! Unfortunately, that restaurant is now closed. Hopefully Indian Pudding will return.
-
It needs a new name
-
My most favorite dessert. Yes, it deserves a comeback!!!!
-
Looks good! Just wish someone would publish the bloody recipe & not force you to watch a YouTube video
-
My mom made it and it was great warm with vanilla ice cream
-
I live in RI and my late step-sister-in-law (?) made great Indian Pudding. A nearby ice cream parlor made IP ice cream as a seasonal special. You just know we'd put them together; irresistible!
-
Nice recipe and video!
-
Indian Pudding is like Moxie, once was here but now is gone, not even its name to carry on.
-
A couple of thoughts: it could be cooked in a crockpot and why aren't cranberries used on it?
-
Interesting. Would be cool to see how this relates to the persimmon pudding we make in Indiana, which is supposed to have originated from native recipes.
-
That’s a problematic name. The comeback needs to start with an updated name.
-
Just watched the episode, I recall making this years ago .
-
I didn't know you were on Bluesky! That's gonna be an instant follow from me.
As for the pudding, I'll have to see when I can watch the video.

Who doesn't love Max Miller!!💙💙👍

We grew up having this ~ ❤️

Love the video and will definitely try this recipe. Followed here 🦋 and subscribed there 🔺!
-
First time I’ve stumbled across you, but here we are following you! Excellent informative entertaining presentation. Ended up on your website, gonna make some eggnog now! Thanks Max!!
-
Is it made of real Indians?
-
Gonna pass on the Indian Pudding. Looks nasty.🤢 I wonder if crushed ginger snaps could help that. Those enamel pins look primo though!
-
No thanks!
-
Oof. We were fed way too much of this stuff in the 70s. It's cornmeal mush and molasses, depression and deprivation in a bowl, ice cream optional.
-
My parents owned The Pierre restaurant in Colchester VT. Indian pudding and fruit compote were two staple desserts on the menu; circa 1960-66.
-
Had it once at a Revolution-era themed event, and it was so good. I remember thinking “why did we ever stop eating this?”
-
The origin of the name is literally in the first minute of the video. It is named after the main ingredient, Indian Corn, which is what we today call corn or maize. Over time the “corn” got dropped.
-
So goooood
-
Pretty interesting! Well done
-

That’s Corn Puddings much hotter sister.
-
I love Indian pudding!
-
Hi Max, how you doing?
-
I remember having it, as a child, at Marshall Field's downtown.
-
It's delicious, but could stand to be renamed.
-
Nice, didn't know you were on bsky Max.
-
Thanks! So Neat!
-
Been eating this since I was a little kid here in New England. My grandparents used to make it. Their grand parents used to make it too but to them it wasn't a special treat, to them it was just corn meal.
-
Sounds amazing. Anyone have a recipe?
-
Indians are from India
-
Californian here …. Used to make this quite a bit as a teen. (But then again, I was into traditional American recipes).
-
I love Indian Pudding, warm with ice cream getting all melty on it. It is still on the regular menu at Longfellow’s Wayside Inn in Sudbury, MA.

“Next up, Polack casserole!”
(somebody suggests this name is problematic)
“Plenty of Polish people in Chicago call themselves Polacks, especially the old people, so I’m gonna keep on calling at that🤗😇”
(just thought I would sum up the thread for those who didn’t want to scroll)
-
On dirait du pain perdu (pain sec lait œufs raisins secs cannelle rhum: laissez imbiber pendant 24h dans un saladier et hop au four : 180 degrés Celsius pour 30 à 40 mn : recette de ma Mère : testée et approuvée !) ?
-
That was a fun video watch and I am going to make. I’m not a pudding person usually but with cornmeal being at its heart and milk and ginger or cinnamon, it sounds very good & comforting!
-
The name tells me that it's bland, and just another settler nostalgia item. 'Indian', the word itself, is a westoid concept. Absolutely no authentic culture at all. Just bits and pieces post colonialism, commemorating said colonialism.
-
Smells like low key racism to use “Indian” as an adjective
-
I used to love this when I was a kid!
