Gluten Free Forgotten Pudding Recipe
Oh boy, you’re going to love this Gluten Free Forgotten Pudding recipe! It’s decadent, creamy, and it can be cooking while you make and eat dinner or even while you sleep.
There are a couple theories for the name of this amazing dessert – one is that it goes into the oven you forget about it. The other (and my personal favorite) is that once tasted, it’s never forgotten!
It’s a pretty simple meringue-based recipe that uses a lot of ingredients that are pretty common in my home kitchen and probably yours, too, if you bake from time to time. The base starts with cream of tartar and salt mixed into eggs (I like to use Nature’s Yoke pasture-raised eggs). Then, it’s baked (for a while), covered in whipped cream and berries, and voila!
Of course, prep this ahead of time, like in the morning before you have dinner guests later that night. Run errands while you wait or cook the rest of your meal. Dessert will be waiting for you … unless, of course, you forget about it!
