A Taste of History
People have been making dishes called "cheese pudding" for a long time.
From Savory to Sweet
- In 1874, a cookbook called The Carolina Housewife mentioned a cheese pudding.
- But this early version was savory, meaning it tasted salty, not sweet. It was more like a fluffy soufflé.
- Some savory cheese puddings even added cheese to bread pudding.
- The sweet version of cheese pudding, which we know today, became popular later. It was first mentioned on menus around 1934.
Different Kinds of Cheese Pudding
- One type of sweet cheese pudding is popular in Latin countries. It's known for being very sweet!
- Another way to make it involves boiling soft cheeses like cottage cheese, paneer (a type of Indian cheese), or even goat cheese.
- Unlike cheesecake, which usually uses cream cheese, these puddings use different kinds of cheese.
- After boiling, extra ingredients like pistachios, cherries, or cranberries are often added. Then, the pudding is frozen.
- Paneer Kheer is a special Indian cheese pudding. It's made with paneer, sugar, and milk, creating a delicious, creamy dessert.
