You’re probably asking yourself, what is corn pudding? This is not a pudding in the typical dessert sense, although it is a bit sweet. Instead, you can think of corn pudding as a savory custard.
Corn pudding is a creamy corn casserole that is quick and easy to make. It goes so well with a variety of main dishes, like grilled chicken or balsamic-glazed stuffed steak rolls, that you’ll want to serve it as a side dish for any occasion, even holiday dinners.
Slice the finished pudding into squares and serve it like cornbread, or simply scoop it out with a spoon. While this recipe may be called a pudding, you’ll still want to make a batch of cookies or some other treat for dessert!
Corn Pudding Ingredients
- Eggs
- Butter
- White sugar
- Whole milk
- Cornstarch
- Whole kernel corn
- Cream-style corn
Made with both canned whole kernel and creamed corn, along with eggs, butter, sugar, milk, and cornstarch, corn pudding is sweet, savory, buttery, and delicious. While corn casserole is closer to traditional cornbread, corn pudding is a creamier and smoother side dish. With no boxed cornbread mix in this pudding recipe, it is also gluten-free.
All of the ingredients for this side dish get combined together, spread in the pan, and baked until golden brown on top. It doesn’t get more simple than that! While the pudding is creamy, it will still hold its form when scooped out of the pan.
If you'd like to make your pudding a bit more savory, you can lessen the amount of sugar, or even omit it entirely. For other savory additions, you could add green chiles, jalapeños, or shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
