During one of my many conversations with Mum, she revealed her favourite childhood Vegan pudding Grandpa made for the family. A pudding made from fresh Corn, Peanuts and sweetened with ripened PawPaw (Papaya). that were all harvested from the farm.
When Mums vibration of pitch heightens, I know it’s a great memory of hers and I feel more connected hearing her tales. She emphasised the pudding was a treat that GrandPa treated the family to as a thank you for their hard work at the farm.
Mum explained during her childhood Sugar was an expensive ingredient, hence they relied on fruits and vegetables such as , Papaya, Pineapple Sweet Potatoes etc to sweeten most of their dishes.
I wanted to recreate that feeling and memory again for Mum, particularly when my Aunties from the Togolese side of my family visited (pre Corona era).
I quickly got the 3 main ingredients required for the recipe and under the tutelage of Mum recreated her childhood fond memory.
The stories and fondness associated with this pudding meant I had to share this recipe as it has become one of my favourite all natural pudding.
Inspired by this memory I created another version
