Queen of Puddings is a traditional British dessert, consisting of a baked, breadcrumb-thickened egg mixture, spread with jam and topped with meringue.

[2] Variant forms of puddings made with breadcrumbs boiled with milk can be found dating back to the seventeenth century.

[2] Several reference works date this variation layered pudding to the nineteenth century, including in the United States.

The base is then spread with jam—usually raspberry or blackcurrant—and a meringue mix made from the reserved egg whites is spooned over the jam.

[10] There was a Toronto theater group called The Queen of Puddings Music Theatre Company that specializes in avant-grade opera.
