Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh sweet corn (kernels sliced off the cob, approximately 5-6 cobs)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg (optional, freshly grated)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until smooth and slightly frothy.
Add the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar to the eggs and whisk until well combined.
Slowly stir in the melted butter to the mixture, ensuring it is evenly incorporated.
In a separate small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, kosher salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Whisk these dry ingredients together.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Mix until the batter is smooth.
Fold the fresh corn kernels into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set in the center and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, sweet, and savory dish!
