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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1.5-quart baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Step 4
Add the flour, melted butter, salt, nutmeg, and pepper to the mixture. If using, stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Step 5
Fold the corn kernels into the mixture, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish.
