Cheese pudding

Cheese pudding is a pudding made with cheese, which unlike cheesecake can be served at room temperature or frozen. A dish known as a cheese pudding was mentioned in The Carolina Housewife in 1874. However this was a savoury pudding which resembled a soufflé. Another savoury dish adds cheese to a bread pudding. In 1934 the sweet version was mentioned as a new addition to menus. One version is considered a Latin dish and is intensely sweet. One version involves boiling cottage cheese, paneer or goats cheese, with a sugar syrup, then adding extra ingredients such as pistachios or soft fruits such as cherries or cranberries, and freezing. Unlike a cheesecake, it is frozen or served at room temperature rather than chilled. Paneer Kheer is an Indian cheese pudding, made with sugar and milk.
