A warm, creamy corn pudding with a smooth custard-like texture and subtle sweetness, perfect for cozy nights and family gatherings. This easy recipe combines simple ingredients to create a comforting and indulgent side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (about 600 grams / 21 ounces)
  • 1 cup evaporated milk (240 ml / 8 fl oz)
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (about 56 grams / 2 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams / 1.75 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (30 grams / 1 ounce)
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 60 grams / 2 ounces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. If using fresh corn, cut kernels off the cob. Reserve half of the corn kernels to blend for creaminess. Using a hand blender or food processor, pulse those until mostly smooth but still a bit textured (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, beaten eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix sugar and flour together to avoid lumps.
  5. Slowly add the sugar and flour mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking constantly to form a smooth batter. Fold in both the blended corn and whole corn kernels along with shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently but thoroughly.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the pudding cool for about 10 minutes before serving to help it set further and make slicing easier.

Notes

Use fresh corn for best flavor and texture; if using frozen, thaw and drain well. To avoid a dense pudding, do not overmix after adding flour. Keep an eye on the pudding during the last 10 minutes of baking and tent with foil if browning too fast. Let the pudding rest before serving for best texture. For dairy-free version, substitute evaporated milk with full-fat coconut milk and use plant-based butter and vegan cheese.
