Indian Pudding is a traditional dessert that originated in colonial New England in the United States. It was created by the Native Americans who used cornmeal as a staple ingredient, which they combined with milk, eggs, and sweeteners like molasses or maple syrup. Over time, the recipe was adapted and popularized by English settlers who added spices like cinnamon and cloves to the mixture. Today, Indian Pudding is considered a classic American dish and is still enjoyed as a popular dessert especially during the holiday season.
