Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.33 cup Molasses
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Raisins (optional)
Instructions
In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the whole milk and cornmeal until smooth.
Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes. Stir well to remove any lumps.
Add the molasses, granulated sugar, butter, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Microwave on high for 2 more minutes, then stir thoroughly.
Continue microwaving the mixture in 1-minute intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the pudding begins to thicken. This typically takes an additional 4-6 minutes.
Once the pudding reaches a thick and creamy consistency, stir in the vanilla extract and raisins (if using).
Let the pudding sit for 2-3 minutes to set and cool slightly.
Serve warm, optionally topping with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
