For an enhanced flavor, consider using fresh corn kernels when in season. Simply blanch the corn for a few minutes before using. If you prefer a richer pudding, substitute milk or half-and-half for the water. To prevent the top from browning too much, check the pudding halfway through baking. If it's browning rapidly, reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees F. Serve warm or at room temperature. A dollop of vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon adds a delightful finishing touch.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the masa harina and water until the mixture is smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a blender or food processor, puree 1 cup of the thawed corn until completely smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the pureed corn, the remaining 1 cup of whole kernel corn, and the cornmeal. Stir until evenly distributed. (5 minutes)
04
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, heavy cream, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Gently fold this mixture into the corn mixture, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated. (3 minutes)
05
StepPour the corn batter into an ungreased 8-inch square baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top, ensuring an even surface. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. (2 minutes)
06
StepCreate a water bath by placing the covered baking dish inside a larger 9x13 inch casserole dish. Carefully pour hot water into the larger dish until it reaches about 1/3 of the way up the sides of the smaller dish. (3 minutes)
07
StepCarefully transfer the entire setup to the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (60 minutes)
08
StepOnce baked, remove the dish from the water bath and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the pudding to set slightly. (10 minutes)
