Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or your favorite herb)
• Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)

How to Make Creamy Corn Pudding

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar size with butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, milk, heavy cream, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
3. Add the eggs and sugar to the corn mixture, whisking until the eggs are fully incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in the chopped thyme, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a richer flavor, use fresh corn when in season. If using frozen, ensure it’s fully thawed and drained.
• Don’t skip the resting time; it allows the pudding to firm up and enhances the flavors.
• Experiment with herbs based on your taste preferences. Dill or basil can provide a unique twist.

Easy Variations

• Add a touch of spice with diced jalapeños for a kick.
• Mix in some shredded cheese for a savory version.
• Swap out the thyme for rosemary or sage for a different herbal note.

What to Serve With It

• A light green salad with vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast.
• Grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience.
