11 Pudding Brands, Ranked Worst To Best
daily meal ^ | 5/11/23 | Bryn Gelbert

Posted on 01/27/2024 12:08:20 PM PST by DallasBiff

For many Americans, pudding is a nostalgic dessert or after-school snack. Although, what we call pudding doesn't align with the rest of the world. Closer to what the British (who technically brought the term to the United States) would call a custard, American pudding is a creamy, chilled custard dessert often flavored with chocolate or tapioca. And more often than not you associate the warm memories of that cold dessert with a brand name on the package

1. Kozy Shack

The best pudding is homemade from scratch..

Yes! The best was the chocolate pudding Mom used to make. It would form a nicely thick skin on top when refrigerated. Ah, memories.

LOL...I KNOW that; I'm VERY conversant in BRIT SPEAK!

"Starters" for appetizer, "AFTERS" for gentleman's relish" and/or desert", "Yorkshire Pud"/Yorkshire Puddling, for a kind of gigantic popover, "VICTORIA SPONGE", for a kind of sponge cake, and on and on. :-)

Indeed, and it’s not hard to do. I was a kid at the dawn of the age of instant, and the old Jell-o cooked pudding was incredible

NOT REALLY!

Spotted Dick is also used as a tea time cake and it's delicious! And at tea, it is NOT a "dessert". Certainly NOT at the Savoy, Browns, Harrods nor at any other very nice place to have tea/high tea/ a cream tea. :-)

I love those popovers. Apparently they make a blue cheese one at the Trump hotel here that I’ve always wanted to try.

I have fond memories of my mother serving (5 kids) home made tapioca pudding once or twice a week. I tried Cozy Shack and the flavor was good and kind of close but the density of the tapioca was maybe 20% of what I remember. It's pretty much regular vanilla pudding.

As an aside I was surprised to discover that the pearls or "boba" in bubble tea are actually the starchy part of tapioca soaked in sugar syrup to make them sweet and chewy.

“Healthy”?

If I’m gonna eat pudding I do not want “healthy” I wand rich as hell and decadent as hell. Kozy Shack by the way is neither.

There is something to be said for the rich stuff. My kid has gotten into making icecream. When we do the full tilt decadent stuff very little of it. 3 or 4 teaspoons, will satisfy as opposed to the store stuff which doesn’t satisfy even if you eat half a box.

I had Bubble Tea for the first time while visiting my daughter during the Holidays. I just felt like I was chewing on tadpoles.

Having an English grandmother, I grew up with steamed fruitcake, mince pies, and this year, Figgy Pudding. After Christmas dinner we realized we forgot to make the popovers to accompany our roast beef. Very disappointed.

It is, but Bird’s custard powder is great in a pinch.

I couldn’t agree more. Their rice pudding is delicious.
