Answer
According to Merriam-Webster:...the expression "the proof is in the pudding,"as well as "the proof in the pudding" and "the proof of the pudding," is a version of the proverbial "the proof of the pudding is in the eating (or tasting)"—all of which have become established in the language through frequent servings.

I blame myself — I could’ve been a better manager and hope to be in the future. –LA Times
