Print Recipe

A luxurious dessert that combines the creamy sweetness of corn pudding with the caramelized crunch of crème brûlée, offering a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for caramelizing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the sweet corn, heavy cream, milk, eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly among 4-6 ramekins, leaving a little space at the top.
  4. Place the ramekins in a baking dish or sheet pan. Carefully pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  5. Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the pudding is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  6. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  7. Just before serving, sprinkle an even layer of granulated sugar over the surface of each pudding. Use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar until golden brown and crisp. Alternatively, place the ramekins under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overblend the corn to avoid a watery mixture.’, ‘Use a water bath to ensure even cooking and prevent cracking.’, ‘Chill the puddings in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up and enhance flavor.’, ‘Move the kitchen torch in small circles to caramelize evenly without burning.’, ‘Experiment with toppings like sea salt or crushed nuts for added flavor and texture.’]
