Notes
- Maple syrup: Pure maple syrup is the best thing to use here. You can experiment with other sweeteners if desired, however, for the most authentic taste, it’s best to stick to maple syrup.
- Heavy cream: Heavy cream thickens beautifully when baked and combines with our maple syrup to make a really nice sauce. If all you can source is pouring cream, that will also work well here.
- Flavor of the pudding: The rich maple syrup gives it a sweet, caramel-like taste, while the buttery pudding underneath adds a creamy texture.
- Can be made ahead: Maple Pudding can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve. After baking, let it cool completely, then cover and refrigerate. When you're ready to enjoy, simply reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven until warm.
