Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1.5-quart baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
If using frozen corn, thaw it completely. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it well. Measure out 2 cups of kernels and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the flour, melted butter, salt, nutmeg, and pepper to the mixture. If using, stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Fold the corn kernels into the mixture, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish.
