Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn, divided
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 large eggs

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives for garnish

How to Make Creamy Corn Pudding with Corn Kernel Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sweet corn, heavy cream, milk, eggs, cornmeal, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
3. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining 1 cup of sweet corn until evenly distributed.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly and smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden.
6. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. This will help the pudding firm up a bit more.
7. Garnish with chopped chives before serving. Cut into wedges and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra sweetness, use fresh corn when in season. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely and drain excess moisture before use.
• Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
• Don’t skip the resting time after baking; it helps the pudding hold its shape when sliced.

Easy Variations

• Add spices: Incorporate cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a bit of heat.
• Cheese swap: Try substituting cheddar or feta cheese for a different flavor.
• Veggie boost: Mix in diced bell peppers or jalapeños for added color and taste.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled chicken or ribs for a classic barbecue plate.
• A fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the pudding.
• Roasted vegetables for a colorful side dish.
• Corn on the cob for a corn-themed feast.
