Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.
In a blender, combine the sweet corn kernels, whole milk, and heavy cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and frothy.
Gradually pour the blended corn mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to avoid curdling. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the prepared baking dish. This step will ensure a silky texture by removing any residual solids.
Place the baking dish in a large roasting pan. Create a water bath by filling the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
Carefully place the roasting pan in the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggles in the center when shaken.
Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let the pudding cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
Serve warm or chilled. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or a dollop of whipped cream.
