Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of regular melted butter. You can substitute the sweetened fruit with any seasonal fruit, such as berries or peaches, for a different taste. If you're looking to cut down on sugar, try using a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup instead. This pudding can also be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful dessert. It pairs beautifully with Smithart Chocolate Chip Walnut Pie for a dessert spread. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for an extra touch of flavor.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. Be careful not to overheat, as it can become dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit, but make sure to thaw and drain excess liquid before adding it to the batter. This prevents the pudding from becoming too watery.
What can I serve with this pudding?
This pudding is delicious on its own, but you can serve it with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. It also goes well with coffee or tea as a sweet ending to a meal.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make this pudding dairy-free, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative like coconut oil or vegan butter. Use almond milk or oat milk in place of regular milk for a creamy texture without dairy.
