Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, try substituting half of the light cream with sour cream. If you're out of frozen corn, fresh corn off the cob can be used instead. Be sure to avoid overmixing the egg and cream mixture to keep the pudding light and airy. Adding a pinch of cayenne pepper can also enhance the flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions
Viola's Corn Pudding is delightful on its own or served alongside a fresh salad, such as a classic Apple Salad Dressing. Consider pairing it with grilled chicken or pork for a complete meal. It also complements dishes like Mother'S Tea Cake for a sweet ending to your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pudding in an oven-safe dish and cover with foil. Heat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the texture rubbery.
