2tablespoons maple syrup
1/3cup packed dark brown sugar

2teaspoons eggs
2teaspoons egg yolks
1/2cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Spray a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk together 3 cups milk and cornmeal. Pour into casserole dish. (The mixture will separate, but don't worry.) Bake, uncovered, 40 minutes. Remove, whisk well, and return to the oven for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove; stir in molasses, maple syrup, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and 3/4 cup milk. Whisk well. Stir in apple and dates. Bake 40 minutes.
  4. Scoop out one ladleful of the pudding into a bowl and whisk in 1 cup milk. Add eggs and egg yolks and beat well. Pour back into the casserole while whisking lightly. Drizzle cream over top.
  5. Return pudding to the oven. Bake until set, but still quite jiggly in the middle, about 45 minutes. Let cool at least 1 hour, to room temperature. It will firm up as it cools.
