Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease four 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups with butter and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the fresh corn kernels and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, and ground black pepper until smooth.
Add the sautéed corn kernels to the mixture and stir to combine evenly.
Divide the mixture equally among the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish. Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this is called a water bath, which ensures even cooking).
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the puddings are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy Fresh Corn Puddings!
