Creamy Corn Pudding
Description
The recipe combines two styles of canned corn with a custard base made from eggs, sugar, milk, cream, melted salted butter, cornstarch, and spices including nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. The cornstarch is dissolved into the dairy before mixing with eggs and other ingredients, ensuring an even, smooth texture once baked. Baking at 350 °F results in a casserole that is set but retains a soft, delicate wobble, indicating a creamy consistency rather than a firm bake.
The subtle sweetness from sugar and corn is balanced by nutmeg and a bit of salt and pepper, adding warmth and mild seasoning. This pudding can be served as a side dish that complements meats or other savory meals.
For variation, a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes can be included to introduce gentle heat. Reducing sugar will shift the dish toward a more savory profile, allowing customization to preference.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup white sugar to taste
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- pinch nutmeg
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
- 5 large egg beaten well
- 1/2 cup butter melted, and cooled, salted
- one ounce can whole kernel corn 15-ounce can
- two ounce cans cream-style corn
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Grease a 10-inch round baking dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the sugar, milk, cream, cornstarch, nutmeg, salt and black pepper until the cornstarch has dissolved completely.
- Add in the eggs and mix completely.
- Stir in the butter, then add in the two different types of corn, mixing everything together thoroughly.
- Spoon into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the casserole has set. A knife inserted should come out clean, but the casserole is still jiggly!
Notes

- Adjust sugar amounts to reduce sweetness for a more savory dish.
