About Maltese pudding

Maltese Pudding, also known as "Pudina," is a traditional dessert from Malta made by repurposing leftover bread. It combines stale bread soaked in milk or water with ingredients like sugar, cocoa, dried fruit, nuts, and spices such as cinnamon or cloves. Often baked to a rich, dense consistency, this pudding embodies Mediterranean resourcefulness and sweet comfort food. Its high fiber content, derived from the bread and dried fruits, makes it moderately filling, while the nuts contribute healthy fats and protein. However, it can be calorie-dense due to added sugar and sweeteners, so portion control is key. Maltese Pudding is an indulgent treat that showcases old-world ingenuity while offering a rustic, satisfying flavor rooted in Maltese culinary tradition.
