Ingredients:

How to make Healthy Corn Pudding:
- In a blender, combine the corn and a splash of milk. Blend until smooth.

- Transfer to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour into dessert cups, sprinkle with cinnamon if desired, and refrigerate until firm and chilled.
Pro-tip:
To ensure a silky texture, blend the mixture thoroughly and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a perfectly smooth, refined pudding without any corn husk bits.
Prep time:
The blender process takes just a couple of minutes. Cooking on the stovetop to reach the perfect consistency usually takes about 10–15 minutes.
Servings:
This recipe yields approximately four servings—perfect for sharing with friends and family.
