Sweet Corn Extract Water Soluble

This Sweet Corn Pudding is a creamy, custard-style dessert infused with the natural sweetness of corn and enhanced with corn extract for a rich, authentic flavor. Soft and smooth, it combines fresh or canned corn with eggs, milk, and sugar to create a comforting, Asian-style dessert. Perfect for family dinners or festive occasions, this pudding can be baked in a water bath for even cooking, resulting in a silky texture and subtle corn aroma. It can be served warm or chilled, and pairs beautifully with a drizzle of caramel or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for added depth.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or canned sweet corn kernels
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon corn extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for firmer pudding)
  • Butter for greasing the baking dish

Directions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or individual ramekins with butter.

  2. Prepare Corn Mixture: Blend corn kernels with 1 cup of milk until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve for a silky texture.

  3. Mix Custard Base: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, salt, and remaining milk. If using cornstarch, dissolve it in a tablespoon of milk before adding.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually stir the corn puree, corn extract, and vanilla into the egg mixture until fully combined.

  5. Bake in Water Bath: Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Place the baking dish in a larger pan and add hot water halfway up the sides of the dish (bain-marie).

  6. Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the pudding is set but slightly jiggly in the center.

  7. Cool: Remove from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for 2–3 hours for firmer pudding.

  8. Serve: Serve warm or cold, optionally topped with caramel sauce, toasted coconut, or a few corn kernels for garnish.
