A unique blend of sweet and savory, this creamy custard dessert with caramelized sugar topping is perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself to something special.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (plus extra for caramelizing)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a blender or food processor, purée the corn kernels with the milk and heavy cream until smooth.
  3. Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the corn mixture into a bowl to remove any solids.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until pale and slightly thickened.
  5. Gradually pour the corn mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
  6. Divide the custard evenly among the ramekins. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar over each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crispy, or place the ramekins under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.

Notes

[‘Don’t skip the straining step to achieve a silky texture.’, ‘Use room temperature egg yolks for smoother blending.’, ‘Watch the sugar topping closely to avoid burning.’, ‘Refrigerate the custards completely before serving for the best texture.’]
