How to Make Mexican Sweet Corn Pudding Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1 cup masa harina and 1 cup water to the creamed butter. Beat until well combined.
  5. In a food processor, pulse 2 cups of thawed frozen corn until coarsely ground. Stir into the creamed mixture.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  7. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the creamed mixture using a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared 8x8 inch baking pan and spread evenly. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Place the 8x8 inch pan into a larger 13x9 inch baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come about one-third of the way up the sides of the smaller pan (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Scoop using an ice cream scoop for elegant portions.
