Best Corn Pudding Side Dish
Whether you call this Corn Pudding or Corn Souffle, it’s delicious either way. This easy corn pudding recipe has a creamy component but also the full corn kernels, which I really like. Sometimes the simple recipes are the best for the holidays. I have a tendency to try to dress up and change all the traditional recipes, but this one is great just how it is.
We thought about adding some bacon, and although that’d be delicious, I don’t think it really needs it. These flavors just go so well together on their own. They’re all you need for the perfect side dish!

A recipe from my childhood! Would it be okay to use half and half in place of the cream? That is all I have at hand at the moment. Thanks…
I am sure you can give it a try!
This is good
So glad!
do I cook the frozen corn first?
You don’t have to. Merry Christmas!
Maybe I need a chef make it.
There is a *See note after the fresh corn kernels ingredient but I don’t find the note. Did I over look it or is not included?
Love your recipes!!
I can’t find the the note either. I hope I can use frozen corn.
So sorry Dana and Charles! Totally forgot that. I’ve updated the recipe to read 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels :)
