Cheesy Corn Pudding

CHEESY CORN PUDDING

Try this delicious Pudding, in México we call Flan the traditional is without cheese but there is different kinds so this time I wanted to add not just cheese but corn, it is delicious if you cant find corn you can skip and add only cheese you will love it also. It is easy to prepare just be really careful with the melted sugar and need to take care of close very well the mold with aluminum foil because must not enter water. if water enter it will not cook the pudding. so be extremely careful with this, also always review that water dont evaporate always add when necessary. should be on the middle or bit less than the middle. at medium heat. This recipe is for 8 persons, I use small mold so I can fill 2.

Ingredients

5 Eggs.
200gr Cream cheese.
380gr Condensed milk.
3-4 Cup of Corn Kernels.
1 3/4 Cup of Milk.
2 tsp. of Vanilla.
1/2 Cup of sugar..

How to prepare:

1.first thing to do is heat 1/2 cup of sugar, you can use a pan and then put the melted sugar in the mold, but if you have a mold that you can put directly in the stove you can put is easier. When the sugar is liquid completely melted add in the mold and cover all the walls and put aside.

2. In the blender add 200gr of cream cheese, the can of condensed milk, 4 cups of corn kernels, eggs and 2 teaspoon of vanilla and mix all ingredients. In the video I made on different way because I don't have a blender and also don't have a big bowl where I can mix all ingredients.

3. In the mold, the sugar melted is already cold, add the batter.

4. If you have a mold to make pudding or flan just close very good, if not, cover the mold with aluminum foil, and seal completely carefully. This step is very important because must not enter water to the pudding while is boiling in water bath.

5. In a pot or pan carefully add the mold already sealed with aluminum foil, add water until the middle of the mold or less than the middle and put in medium heat. you can check the video.

6. After 20 min check and if needed add water, carefully always to not enter water to the pudding. Review and add water when necessary.

7. The time that it takes was 1:00 hour with 5 min in medium heat. But always review with a toothpick, it should be moist but not dirt. If need more time just cover very well again and put to boil in water bath.

8. when is ready put to cool down for about 1/2 to 1 hour and then put on fridge for about 1/2 hour more, in my case I leave for 1 day because was tired of recording but you can take out in 1/2 hour.

9. To remove from the mold use a knife to separate the pudding from the wall of the mold and then with a plate like in the video flip and is ready.
