Mexican Corn Bread Pudding

Ingredients

  • 1 (8.5-ounce) box of corn muffin mix
  • 1 cup of corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of butter, melted
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (optional, for a savory twist)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, corn kernels, milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well-blended.
  3. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is smooth. If you’re using cheese, fold it in now for extra richness.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This allows the pudding to set up a bit for easier slicing.
  7. For the best experience, serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a scoop of your favorite ice cream.

Enjoy this delightful Mexican Corn Bread Pudding with family and friends! It brings a touch of warmth and flavor that everyone will love. Happy baking!
