Ingredients
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 5 cups fresh yellow corn kernels cut off the cob (6 to 8 ears)
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion (1 onion)
- 4 extra-large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup (6 ounces) grated extra-sharp cheddar, plus extra to sprinkle on top
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the inside of an 8 to 10-cup baking dish.
Melt the butter in a very large saute pan and saute the corn and onion over medium-high heat for 4 minutes. Cool slightly.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, and half-and-half in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal and then the ricotta. Add the basil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked corn mixture and grated cheddar, and then pour into the baking dish. Sprinkle the top with more grated cheddar.
Place the dish in a larger pan and fill the pan 1/2 way up the sides of the dish with hot tap water. Bake the pudding for 40 to 45 minutes until the top begins to brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Delicious. I make it at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even kids like it. It is rich so tends to serve many. Your container will determine how long to cook. Try not to cook in a baking pan that is too deep with small opening or sides will get a bit overcooked and middle will keep soupy for a long time. Use a container with lots of open surface area. But hey even if that happens this is still absolutely out of this world anyway ! yumm yumm.

We liked the recipe. Used frozen corn and it worked. Wondering if it comes out ok without using the water bath. I only have one huge pan that works for the water bath and one oven.
