I can’t remember where I got this recipe from, but I have been making since I first moved out on my own. It is a quick and easy dessert and doesn’t make a whole lot; so it was good when I was single. As I was researching for this site (trying to discover where I may have gotten the recipe), I found the following information and picture.
Mrs. Truman’s Famous Ozark Pudding
Ozark pudding is a dry fruit custard with nuts that, as the name implies, seems to originate in Missouri, being named after The Ozarks region. It is most famous for being a favorite food of President Harry Truman, a recipe by his wife Bess Truman having been widely published in the 1950s, including it being her contribution to the Congressional Club Cookbook.
History of Ozark Pudding from Wikipedia:
Serve it warm and with a dollop of whipped cream on top, or if you can’t be bothered with whipping cream at the moment, I’m pretty sure a little drizzle of heavy cream poured over the top would be equally good. Some vanilla ice cream would be most excellent.
