Homemade corn pudding is a favorite side dish with a creamy custard-like texture and of course lots of corn flavor.
This dish needs only a few ingredients, mainly frozen and creamed corn, and it comes together in just minutes.
Ingredients
This corn pudding recipe is made from scratch without corn muffin mix or Jiffy mix.
- Eggs & Milk – Eggs and milk give this corn pudding a custard like texture which is what makes it different than a cornbread casserole.
- Brown Sugar – We love adding a little bit of sweetness to corn dishes.
- Creamed Corn – Creamed corn is really not optional (and is different than homemade creamed corn).
- Corn Kernels – You can use either canned or frozen corn kernels (or fresh corn on the cob if you have it).
- Cornstarch – Cornstarch helps the pudding set as it bakes.

Butter a casserole dish (or use cooking spray) and preheat the oven.
- Thaw the corn kernels if using frozen, and melt butter in a microwave
