Molotof
Pudim Molotov is a popular dessert in Portuguese cuisine. It is made with egg whites, sugar, and sometimes a touch of vanilla. The egg whites are whipped until stiff peaks form, then mixed with caramel sauce. The mixture is then baked in the oven, resulting in a light and fluffy dessert with a caramelized top.[1]
Origin
There are various theories about the origin of the name "Pudim Molotov." One theory suggests that its original name was "Malakoff pudding" and is associated with the 1853-1856 Crimean War. During this war, the fortress of Malakoff protected the city of Sevastopol. After the French general Pélissier successfully captured the fortress, he was granted the title of Duke of Malakoff. It is believed that the dessert's name was inspired by this wartime connection.[2][3]
Regarding the confusion with the name "Molotov," which emerged during the 1939-45 war, it is important to note that Vyacheslav Mikalovich Skriabine was appointed as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR. However, it is incorrect to state that he was referred to as "Molotov" while in hiding.[2][3]
Given the potential confusion with the name "Molotov," it is speculated that the Portuguese people began calling this dessert "Pudim Molotov." It is important to emphasize that the exact reasons for this name change remain uncertain, and it is not directly linked to Vyacheslav Mikalovich Skriabine or any specific wartime context.
