Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 15-ounce can creamed corn (1½ cups)
  • 1 15-ounce can sweet whole kernel corn, drained
  • ½ cup cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup red pepper, diced
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉/177℃. Spray an 8x11-inch baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • Whisk milk, eggs, and vanilla until fully combined in a large bowl. Then add the sour cream and continue whisking for about 1 more minute.
  • Next add, creamed corn, sweet whole corn kernel, cornmeal, sugar, salt, bell pepper and, nutmeg. Thoroughly mix to fully combine. Finally, fold in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
  • Bake uncovered for about 45-55 minutes or until set and golden brown on top. Remove it from the oven and let it sit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Frozen or fresh corn also works for this recipe. You can use 2 pounds (900g) of corn and then blitz half of it in the blender for creaminess.
  • It should be slightly jiggly in the middle when done. Insert a knife or fork into the center of the corn pudding, and it should come out clean.
  • A mess-free trick to cut the fresh kernels off the cob involves a large bowl, a sharp, short knife, and a paper or clean kitchen towel. Put the clean towel inside the bowl and one end of the corn on it. With a short knife, cut down and carefully cut off the kernels into the bowl. Gently remove the towel, and the corn kernels will stay in the bowl instead of ending up all over the kitchen.
  • Add a tad more sugar and top it with berries for a beautiful dessert.
  • Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
