Indian Pudding

Submitted by mermaidmagic

"It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without this dessert on the table. It was always served with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Note that while this is referred to as a pudding, it is not a creamy texture. It's similar to a thick "cream of wheat" when done. Definitely a different dish, hope you enjoy."
