A silky, luscious sweet corn pudding made in the Instant Pot, featuring natural sweetness from honey and a fresh savory pop from chives. Perfect as a comforting side dish for cozy dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn (about 600 g), thawed if frozen
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (120 ml)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (30 g)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (45 g), melted
  • 2 tbsp honey, preferably raw or local
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn Base (10 minutes): If using fresh corn, cut kernels off the cob. If frozen, thaw completely. Place 3 cups (450 g) of corn into a blender and pulse until mostly smooth but still slightly textured.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients (5 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, melted butter, honey, vanilla extract (if using), and salt until fully combined.
  3. Combine Corn and Flour (5 minutes): Stir the pureed corn into the wet mixture. Then, gently fold in the flour and the remaining 1 cup (150 g) whole corn kernels for texture.
  4. Prepare Instant Pot (2 minutes): Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of water into the Instant Pot. Grease a 7-inch (18 cm) round baking dish or oven-safe bowl that fits inside the pot with butter or non-stick spray.
  5. Pour Mixture and Cook (40 minutes): Pour the corn pudding mixture into the prepared dish. Carefully place the dish on the trivet inside the Instant Pot. Seal the lid and set to “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” on high for 20 minutes. After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes before carefully opening.
  6. Garnish and Serve (5 minutes): Remove pudding from the Instant Pot. Sprinkle chopped fresh chives on top and, if you like, drizzle a little extra honey before serving.

Notes

Do not overblend the corn to keep some texture. Use room temperature eggs to prevent curdling. Let the pressure release naturally to avoid cracking. Grease the baking dish well to prevent sticking. The pudding should be set but slightly jiggly in the center; let it rest if too loose.
