Author Notes
This recipe is a Thanksgiving makeover of my Malay (Ricotta Corn Pudding).
At first I hesitated and was not sure how pumpkin will work instead of ricotta because it has a very deferent consistency and a lot more moisture. I decided to add two more egg whites and some more sugar to stabilize the meringue. It worked beautifully. As soon as I added the cornmeal and flour mixture it soaked up all the extra moisture and puffed up right before my eyes. I am very pleased with the result and I hope so will you. The pudding is delicious, light, airy and in the same time it is firm enough to be cut with a knife when it’s slightly cooled down.
