A Family Favorite
I want to share a little story about how this recipe became part of our family’s regular rotation. On one rainy Sunday afternoon, we were craving something sweet, but I didn’t want to drive to the store. I suddenly remembered my nana’s old recipe tucked safely away for a Hasty Pudding Dessert, so I decided to make it instead of going to the store.
While the pudding was cooking on the stove, it was filling the kitchen with an amazing scent. My husband wandered in to see what was going on as he smelled it cooking. When I handed him a bowl of warm pudding, his face lit up. “This is wonderful!” he said, and I knew I had a winner.
Since that day, it has been a go-to dessert for the cozy nights we want at home. It’s the dessert you want to serve and share with your family, friends, or just the two of us. And even though it’s deliberate and easy to make and it doesn’t bother me when a craving comes on to whip it up again to share with others.
