Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 can (14.75 oz / 416 g) creamed corn
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of ground black pepper
- Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish generously with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer or whisk.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and melted butter until well blended. Add the cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated and velvety.
- Stir in the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper until no lumps remain.
- Gently fold in the fresh corn kernels and creamed corn until evenly combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until the pudding is set but still slightly jiggly in the center and the edges are golden brown.
- Let the pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to set fully.
Notes
Soften cream cheese well before mixing to avoid lumps. Use fresh or thawed frozen corn for best texture. Avoid overbaking to keep pudding creamy with a slight jiggle in the center. Grease baking dish well to prevent sticking. If pudding is too runny after baking, bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
