Puddings is one of the most requested recipes here. Whenever I post a cake or similar type of recipe on the blog, I get mails asking for simple pudding recipes. So, for all those who want super simple but delicious pudding recipe, look no further. I first tasted this dish almost a year ago. It was love at first taste! I got this recipe from my good friend and neighbor Sonia. What I love most about it, apart from its simplicity is that, you can make it for a small group or a large group. You can easily halve the recipe or double the recipe. Also, it's ideal for any pot luck kind of parties.
Do I sound like a telemarketing person? Yeah… I better stop. Anyways, please do try this recipe and fall in love with this yummy pudding! Thanks Sonia dear for this wonderful recipe!
Btw, you do remember my post about how I ended with so many Nutella jars? At some point of time, I started collecting those jars and do you wanna know how I use them? Check out the first pic… Yeah, they are good to serve layered desserts like this or this. So next time, instead of throwing away the empty Nutella jar, rinse it and save it. It will come handy some day :)
Now, shall we go and make this yummy pudding?
Hi Maria,
We don’t get thick cream here in India , can you suggest a substitute?
Hi Rania,
You can use Amul fresh cream.

Can we use whipped cream for layer??
Hi Renu,
I’ve used a combination of whipping cream and thick cream for layering. I havent tried it with only whipping cream. May be you can try a small batch n see whether it works..

Maria, I tried this out last weekend and it was a hit :) I couldn’t find “thick cream” so used “heavy cream”. Are they the same? Thank you!
Thanks Mary Ann! I’m not sure about the texture of heavy cream, since it’s not available here. I’m assuming it to be something like athicker version of whipping cream. Thick cream is not flowy, it has a spreadable consistency.

Hi Maria,
I have tried many of your recipes and all were awesome! Keep those recipes coming our way!
Questions on this recipe – can I use double cream? And can this be made a day in advance? Will it lose its freshness? And the weight of pineapple can you mentioned is it after draining the syrup?
Thanks!
Hi Anon,
Thanks a bunch for trying the recipes from here. Great to know that you like them.
I havent tried it with double cream, but may be you can give it a try. Yep, you can make it one day in advance and weight of pineapple is before draining the syrup.
Hope your pudding comes out well and you enjoy it.

Maria…a quick clarification..i had used dream whip, it did come out yummy…is whipping cream d same??
Hi Maya,
In the original recipe, which my friend gave me, she used dream whip. So it’s ok to use it..
I think dream whip is a substitute for fresh whipping cream.

Maria,
This looks mouth watering! Just one quick query:
Can I use some cake, say, sponge cake in place of the white bread?

Loved your dessert recipes..pls psot more, Maria. A query: is there a specific whipping cream brand that you would recommend? I’d really like to know.
Thank you Swapna :) I’m trying very hard to loose weight ;), but I’ll try to post good dessert recipes when I get some good ones.
I use Al Marai brand whipping cream, its a famous brand in Gulf.

In the recipe mentioned above you have specified pineapple syrup from the tinned pineapple to be mixed with sugar syrup. But how would we get this syrup if we use fresh pineapple?
Hi Minnu,
If you are using fresh pineapple, just increase the qty of sugar syrup and add 1/4 – 1/2 tsp of pineapple essence (optional), if you like.
Cheers
Maria
