Chilled puddings: the best recipes without an oven or bain-marie

Frozen puddings are one of the most popular sweets among Brazilians. Any flavor is delicious, whether it's condensed milk, gelatin pudding, chocolate, or other flavors that can't be found in bakeries and restaurants.

We know that this is a recipe that takes a long time to prepare and today we can't waste time, so we have prepared easy recipes and the best part is that they don't need to be baked.

Do you know where frozen puddings came from?

It is undeniable that everyone loves and falls in love with a slice of pudding, but when the question is about its origin, not everyone knows how to answer, right?

There is no certain story that confirms the origin of this dessert, in turn the Portuguese claim to be the inventors, back in the 16th century, although there is controversy, as historians report that there is no exact certainty on this issue.

According to one of the versions, the pudding was created by a Portuguese abbot (a religious function above that of a monk).

This story states that this abbot did not share this recipe in any way, making it something secret and woe betide anyone who asked. Due to the fame that the pudding gained over time among the population, he created a competition in which other confectioners competed, seeking among themselves the title of preparing the best pudding of all.

In the end, none of them managed to achieve such a feat with this dessert recipe, leaving only an idea of how to achieve a relatively similar preparation.

It was then that the origin of the recipe was revealed to everyone, and soon after the abbot's death, because the recipe book he used was discovered. With that, we have the legend, but as for its veracity, that is another question.

The first time a pudding recipe was recorded in Brazil was in “O Cozinheiro Imperial”, the first cookbook published in the country, in 1840.

The recipe we know today is made with condensed milk, as you will see here. Before that, the pudding recipe was made with cream.
