Print Recipe

A creamy, slightly spicy corn pudding bake that makes the perfect BBQ side dish with a smooth texture and a kick of roasted jalapeños.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (14.75 oz / 418 g) creamed corn
  • 2 medium roasted jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place jalapeños on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until skins are blistered and blackened, turning occasionally.
  2. Place roasted jalapeños in a sealed bowl or zip-top bag to steam for 5 minutes, then peel off skins and remove seeds if desired. Finely chop and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, melted butter, and milk. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in sugar, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until evenly mixed.
  5. Gently fold in drained whole kernel corn, creamed corn, and chopped jalapeños.
  6. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and fold in gently to combine.
  7. Pour batter into a greased 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) casserole dish and smooth the top.
  8. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes until golden on top and set in the center (toothpick should come out mostly clean).
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving to firm up and intensify flavors.

Notes

Roasting jalapeños mellows their heat and adds smokiness. Soften cream cheese well before mixing for smooth texture. Add eggs one at a time to avoid scrambling. Let pudding rest after baking for better slicing. Cover with foil if top browns too fast. Use almond flour for gluten-free version. Vegan adaptations possible with substitutions.
