Posey'S Pudding
Posey's Pudding is a moist, flavorful dessert featuring pineapple, nuts, and a sweet cornmeal base, perfect for family gatherings or special occasions with ice cream or cream.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Bake the pudding for 30 to 35 minutes at 350°F.
- Serve hot with ice cream, coffee cream, or commercial sour cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using cake flour instead of self-rising cornmeal. If you're nut-free, you can substitute chopped nuts with sunflower seeds for added crunch. Adding a splash of vanilla extract can enhance the flavor, and for a tropical twist, try using coconut flakes. Adjust the sweetness by reducing the brown sugar if you prefer a less sweet pudding.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Posey's Pudding warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It also pairs nicely with coffee cream or a dollop of commercial sour cream. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside a slice of Green Bean Pie for a unique dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the pudding to cool completely before storing leftovers in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated through. A splash of milk can help restore moisture when reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Posey's Pudding ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare Posey's Pudding a day in advance. Bake it, let it cool, and refrigerate. When ready to serve, simply reheat in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through. This can enhance the flavors, similar to how Texas Pecan Candy Cake is best when made ahead.
What can I use instead of pineapple?
If you want to substitute the pineapple, consider using canned peaches or fresh diced apples for a different flavor profile. Both options will add moisture and sweetness, creating a delicious alternative while keeping the pudding's texture intact.
Is it possible to make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can make Posey's Pudding gluten-free by substituting the self-rising cornmeal with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure that your baking powder is also gluten-free, and you'll have a delicious, inclusive dessert that everyone can enjoy.
