Ingredients

• 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
• 2 pieces jalapeño peppers, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat, optional)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, and melted butter until smooth and combined.

Step 3

Add the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the wet ingredients. Whisk until the mixture is lump-free and smooth.

Step 4

Fold in the corn kernels, diced jalapeños, and shredded cheddar cheese using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish. Smooth the top with a spoon or spatula to ensure an even layer.

Step 6

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 7

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving. This helps the pudding set and makes it easier to slice.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish, garnished with extra chopped jalapeños or fresh herbs if desired.
