First and foremost I have to apologise for these photos. The lighting is lame because I took them at night but I was drooling over it as soon as it came out of the oven and I knew two things for sure: I wouldn’t have time to photograph it the next morning AND there wouldn’t be much of it left the next day – we polished off half of the tray whilst I was still taking pictures 8)
This pudding is so easy to make: you simply toss all the ingredients into the blender and then bake. Simple as that but so yummy!
CHEESE PUDDING
INGREDIENTS
2 eggs
12 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
8 tbsp flour
600 ml milk
4 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp baking powder
METHOD
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Blend all the ingredients together, pour into a greased baking tray (30 x 15 cm) and bake for about 45 minutes or until it gets firm with just a slight wobble.
NOTES: I like to blitz the eggs first and then add the other ingredients.
This batter is rather liquid and, as it bakes, it forms a very thin crust-like base but the middle is soft and moist.
It will sink a bit as it cools, almost like a souffle but not that much 😉

Does this taste kind of like classic baked cheesecake? Eager to try it.. and the photo’s not bad at all so don’t apologise 😉

No, Jina, it’s nothing like cheesecake. It has a mellow custard-y texture with a hint of saltness and tingle. $-/

That would be interesting, a blind taste! For me the cheese lends a sharp distinctive yet subtle taste – but I know what’s in it! 😉

I did make it Erika, and it was Oh so yummy! Mine wasn’t as thick as yours because my dish may have been a little larger than called for, but I’m sure it was every bit as delicious!

That sounds lovely but what sort of taste does the parmesan give it?
LikeLike
Thanks, Sorcha! I’d describe it as slightly salty with a tingle contrasting with a mellow texture.

Hi Erika! You had me at “cheese”, heh heh! You know, the way you describe your cheese pudding reminds me of that in-thing, a magic cake I think it is called? Crust like bottom, pudding-y middle and creamy cake-like top. 😀

Hi, Nat! I had to look it up because I had never seen this magic cake. It’s quite similar, except for the cake layer and the method – mine is much more effortless! 🙂

lol i’m surprised by how good this looks to be honest (with a name like cheese pudding). Actually makes me think of ooey gooey butter cake because they look similar, but this is the wonderfully savory version or something 🙂

Oh, how can I explain it? It’s more milky and satiny than butter cake – almost like baked custard. The parmesan cheese lends it a special tingly flavour but it’s not savoury!
