Rinse and drain the whole kernel of corn and set it aside. Then, spray a baking dish with non-stick spray. This fits easily into a 9"x13" baking dish. Set this aside.

Now, in a large bowl, you will combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper together until smooth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Corn Pudding the Same as Cornbread?

No, corn pudding is not the same as cornbread. Corn pudding is a custard-like dish made with eggs, milk, and cornstarch, while cornbread is more like a quick bread, leavened with baking soda or baking powder. Both dishes include corn, but cornbread is typically made with cornmeal while corn pudding includes whole kernel corn instead. The texture and flavor are quite different.

Why Is It Called Corn Pudding?

The name corn pudding comes from the fact that this dish is custard-like, or pudding-like. It's made with eggs and milk, which gives it a thick and creamy texture. The addition of whole kernel or cream corn adds texture and flavor to the pudding giving it some body.

What Does Corn Pudding Taste Like?

Corn pudding tastes like a cross between cornbread and custard. It's creamy and dense, with a slight sweetness from the corn. Typically, corn pudding is flavored with butter, salt, and pepper. The mixture is combined with sour cream and cream cheese. This creates a delicious flavor that mixes well with the sweet corn.

Do You Put Eggs in Corn Pudding?

Yes, you will put eggs in the corn pudding. This will help to bind everything together and create a smooth, creamy texture. Without the eggs, your corn puddings will be more like cornmeal mush. Eggs and milk are the base of most custards and puddings, and the same applies to this delicious side dish casserole.

How Do I Know When Corn Pudding is Done?

When corn pudding is done, it will be set in the center and slightly jiggly. You don't want it to be too firm, as this will result in a dry pudding. You also don't want it to be too runny, as this will make it difficult to eat. The best way to test for doneness is to insert a toothpick into the center of the pudding. If it comes out clean, then the pudding is done.

Can I Freeze Corn Pudding?

Absolutely! You can easily freeze corn pudding after it has been baked. Just bake as directed, then allow it to cool completely. I prefer to cut it into portions and wrap each piece individually in plastic wrap. Then they can be stacked in a freezer storage bag or a freezer storage container. Just make sure to date and label this before it is frozen. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or reheat in 30-second increments in the microwave before serving.
