Have you ever tasted a real homemade custard pudding? And no, we don’t mean the one that comes from a packet, but a beautiful, trembling cream dessert made the old fashioned way with eggs, sugar, milk and cream.

In Quivering Desserts & Other Puddings you will find recipes for both classic puddings such as vanilla, almond, chocolate and wonderful contemporary versions such as salted caramel pudding with caramel popcorn and white chocolate pudding with jasmine tea. And much, much more.

Sounds difficult? It is not. A real pudding just requires a little time at the stove and some hours in the refrigerator. And the reward – a quivering cream artwork that makes children quiver and adults sigh.

You can learn more about Quivering Desserts & Other Pudding in our author interview with Marie. We’re delighted to offer 5 copies of the book to EYB Members worldwide. One of the entry options is to answer the following question in the comments section of this blog post:

Have you ever made a traditional pudding?

    This book looks amazing I would love to have it.

  • imjammin2  on  September 12, 2016

    I have made homemade, "from scratch" puddings but never in a mold. I absolutely adore the title of this book!

  • tennyogirl  on  September 12, 2016

    I made creme caramel in a rice cooker once. Does that count?

  • rchesser  on  September 12, 2016

    Yes I have

  • trudys_person  on  September 12, 2016

    I have made blanc mange and tapioca pudding, but nothing that requires a mould. And I love quivery things!

  • kitchenfrolic  on  September 12, 2016

    I've never made a traditional pudding before. They always look so amazing – I'm a little nervous to give them a try!

  • jd5761  on  September 12, 2016

    I have made several variations of rice pudding

  • Felicity  on  September 12, 2016

    I love puddings, sticky date, bread and butter, lemon delicious but oh to have a crack at salted caramel…. Now there's a challenge I look forward to!

  • wester  on  September 13, 2016

    Bread pudding, semolina pudding, and recently I found how easy it is to use gelatin (for instance to make panna cotta). I could use some inspiration to actually make them, because it always feels like it's going to be a lot of more work than it actually is.

  • Astrid5555  on  September 13, 2016

    Yes, but only vanilla. Would love to try other flavours!

  • Seren_Ann  on  September 13, 2016

    I have made blanc mange in a mould, not sure if that counts, but I haven't tried any other puddings, it would be interesting !

  • bookpoet  on  September 13, 2016

    I have not. But two beautiful ceramic molds that will be perfect for these puddings just arrived from William Sonoma yesterday (they were on deep discount!). This book is designed for my bookshelf, one way or another.

  • JulesLP  on  September 13, 2016

    I have never made homemade pudding.

  • bfg67  on  September 13, 2016

    yes

  • camtncook  on  September 13, 2016

    Yes I have.

  • meggan  on  September 13, 2016

    I have made a rose water blanc-mange. Does that count?

  • gjelizabeth  on  September 13, 2016

    I make a lovely chocolate cornstarch pudding often, and have made custards and bread puddings.

  • madamepince  on  September 13, 2016

    I love making homemade puddings — this book sounds like it has some amazing new ideas.

  • Siegal  on  September 14, 2016

    I made rice pudding!

  • pokarekare  on  September 14, 2016

    I've made Rice Pudding, but would love to try some others.

  • verorenee  on  September 14, 2016

    Yes just simple vanilla and chocolate

  • Nancith  on  September 14, 2016

    I have, but it's been a very long time. I used to make good old Jello molds loaded with fruit or vegetables, plus unmolded puddings of all sort. Maybe it's time to get back into it.

  • juazella  on  September 14, 2016

    Oh yes, I make a mean chocolate pudding pie.

  • Joyceeong  on  September 15, 2016

    Yes, I've made rice pudding

    I do have a few molds that I have used for Plum and Roselle jellies, Citrus berries terrine (in a round mold), bread and butter pudding, and of course rice pudding.

  • WhitneySanderson  on  September 15, 2016

    I've started a tradition of making a maple-vanilla custard pudding every Christmas…it's a nice gluten-free alternative to all the cakes and pies!

  • sharpcatherine  on  September 16, 2016

    I'm pretty scarred by childhood blancmanges so haven't attempted anything as an adult – clearly I need the book!

  • sarahawker  on  September 16, 2016

    Yes, steamed pudding in a can, I grew up on these in the midwest.

  • pandapotamus  on  September 16, 2016

    yes! classic vanilla.

  • t.t  on  September 17, 2016

    not unless creme brulee counts…

  • sgump  on  September 17, 2016

    If so-called Indian pudding counts–you know, cornmeal and molasses or maple syrup baked at a relatively low temperature for a long time–then, yes (that's what I'd consider "traditional," anyway, where I'm from). The jasmine version in this book sounds delightfully intriguing, though–and I hope a recipe or two with rosewater is included.

  • lindaeatsherbooks  on  September 18, 2016

    I haven't made a traditional pudding before, but it's something I'd like to try.

  • ampsmom  on  September 18, 2016

    Yes I have. Chocolate and tapioca are my favorite!

  • ravensfan  on  September 18, 2016

    I never have.

  • rivergait  on  September 18, 2016

    One time I brought homemade tapioca pudding to a family gathering. My teenage grandchildren were amazed…"…can you really make that [as opposed to Jell-O cups hanging on a dairy rack]?"

  • Barbara14  on  September 21, 2016

    I love puddings, using mostly the powdered version, but I have made them from scratch as well. Looking forward to winning this book for a trip around the world of puddings. 🙂

  • matag  on  September 21, 2016

    Yes pana coda

  • cocecitycook  on  September 23, 2016

    Love me some banana pudding with homemade vanilla custard!

  • ltsuk  on  September 23, 2016

    Oh yes!

  • JanScholl  on  September 25, 2016

    Rice pudding from scratch is beyond heaven!

  • clairew137  on  September 25, 2016

    no.

  • Orielle  on  September 26, 2016

    No I haven't so it's something I need to learn more about.

  • annieski  on  September 28, 2016

    No, just bread puddings

  • soopsoop  on  September 30, 2016

    Alas, no, I have not yet made a traditional pudding.

  • Terra5  on  September 30, 2016

    I am really looking forward to learning more about Eat Your Books. Thanks for the giveaway.

  • cadfael  on  September 30, 2016

    Yes a steamed blueberry pudding- traditional family recipe

  • nicolthepickle  on  September 30, 2016

    I've made vanilla and chocolates ones, and once a coffee pot de creme if that counts.

  • tarae1204  on  September 30, 2016

    Plenty of traditional American puddings – never quite sure what the word refers to in British English though!

  • fionajk42  on  September 30, 2016

    I regularly make rice pudding, but not generally with cow's milk as I'm lactose intolerant. I sometimes use coconut milk, sometimes almond milk, both of which give good results. Soy milk doesn't seem to work well, it seems to separate and go grainy.

  • rstuart  on  September 30, 2016

    Rice pudding and chocolate mousse…

  • Bhukhhad  on  September 30, 2016

    I make a traditional raspberry jelly and sweet cream custard pudding in a mold so that the two layers show beautifully on a plate.

  • GillB  on  September 30, 2016

    I love making the old style desserts like flummery and Spanish Cream. And I adore a good baked rice pudding.

  • Peter  on  September 30, 2016

    I have made puddings from scratch. With that said, I am always looking for new ideas and techniques that will make this "simple" dessert special to both children and adults.

  • SLane  on  September 30, 2016

    Memories !
    I've made a chocolate pudding and my mum made a lovely dessert called flummery.

  • RuthHarwood  on  October 1, 2016

    Yes made Victoria Sponge and also some Ginger nut biscuits 🙂

  • Sand9  on  October 1, 2016

    Have made sponge puddings – treacle and ginger x

  • Radiantpurple  on  October 1, 2016

    Yes? No? If traditional English Plum Pudding counts – then yes :).

  • avanoir  on  October 1, 2016

    Yes, rice, tapioca and butterscotch puddings from scratch.

  • goldenpudding  on  October 2, 2016

    I love both American style custard puddings and what I tend to think of as pudding i.e. basically steamed cakes, especially Christmas pudding which we make every year.

  • rosiekitty  on  October 2, 2016

    Yes, panna cotta, rice pudding, flan. I would love to learn how to make a traditional British steamed pudding, such as Sticky Toffee Date pudding.

    Tapioca pudding.

    Never tried to make any kind of pudding other than Jello!

  • Katiefayhutson  on  October 5, 2016

    Creme caramel

  • Phil.Adams  on  October 7, 2016

    I make a great traditional Christmas Pudding, but they don't quiver!

  • daniellespinato1  on  October 7, 2016

    I've only made rice pudding — I've always been a little intimidated by the prospect of making a traditional pudding. (Although I do love to eat them!)

  • bangss  on  October 7, 2016

    I've actually made sour milk pudding with an old gallon of milk… quite palatable, really! I'd totally make it again.
