Fountains at Franklin celebrate National Pudding Day with comfort food


June 26, 2014 was national chocolate pudding day, so we decided to make pudding parfait's for the residents for dessert. I set up a 8 foot table and build each individually parfait for the guest. They had the option of 3 fruits they can add to the parfait (strawberries, blueberries, or bananas) or just have it plain. I have only been here for 2 months so this was a good way to get to know everybody and to learn the residents names and for them to get to know me a little better.

Not only is chocolate pudding a comfort food it is also a lite snack that does not have a lot of calories. The residents really loved this as a dessert because it was something different from the other dessert that we usually serve.

Here are a variety of puddings that can be created and served to your residents:

Alton Brown's Baked Banana Pudding

Ina Garten's Brownie Pudding

Taste of Home's Lemon Rice Pudding Brulee

Taste of Home's Pilgrim Pudding

Chow's Mango Pudding

Chow's Filipino Chocolate Rice Pudding
