History[edit | edit source]

The origins of Diplomat Pudding are unclear, but it is believed to have been created in the 19th century. The name "Diplomat Pudding" is thought to have been derived from its popularity among diplomats and high-ranking officials in the French court.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

To prepare Diplomat Pudding, stale bread or brioche is first soaked in fruit juice or liqueur to soften it. The soaked bread is then layered with fruit, typically raisins, candied fruit, or berries. The pudding is then baked in a mold until it is firm and golden brown. It is typically served chilled, often with a custard sauce or whipped cream.

Variations[edit | edit source]

There are many variations of Diplomat Pudding. Some recipes call for the addition of eggs and milk, creating a custard-like texture. Others include chocolate, nuts, or different types of fruit. In some regions, Diplomat Pudding is made with croissants instead of bread or brioche.
