Can I make this corn pudding ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the corn pudding in advance. Simply mix all the ingredients, pour them into the baking dish, cover, and refrigerate. Bake it just before serving. This makes it a great option for gatherings or holiday meals when you want to save time.

If you want to avoid dairy, you can substitute the milk with almond milk, soy milk, or any plant-based milk of your choice. For a creamier texture, try using coconut milk, but keep in mind it will add a subtle coconut flavor.
How can I tell when the corn pudding is done baking?
