Easy and delicious jiffy corn pudding

If you’re reading this, you’re in for an absolute treat. This corn pudding recipe is one of my favorite recipes. It makes this perfect side dish, but it's also great on its own as a little cozy snack.

Corn pudding is a classically southern dish that's made with jiffy corn muffin mix as well as corn kernels, cream-style corn, yogurt, butter, and honey (optional). Once combined, these ingredients wind up creating a light, moist, fluffy texture (more so than cornbread). In fact, the final texture is like that of a soufflé.

I love to make this recipe in the fall and winter, and though many use it as a side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, I think it’s perfect any day of the season.

Ingredients in this corn pudding recipe

With an ingredient list filled with these tasty items, you can probably already tell that it's going to be good! Here's everything you'll need:

Egg: First up, you will need one egg. You can use a regular or a large egg. The egg is going to help the jiffy mix combine well with the other ingredients.
Muffin mix: Next, you need 1 8.5oz box of Jiffy corn muffin mix (not Jiffy cornbread mix). This is going to help us create the desired texture. Don't worry, it won’t dry out the pudding!
Corn: Following the muffin mix, use 1 15oz can of whole corn kernels. Be sure to drain before adding to the mix.
Cream-style corn: Follow the regular corn kernels with 1 15oz can of cream-style corn. This is also going to contribute to the texture.
Yogurt: Then, add ⅔ cup of full-fat plain Greek yogurt. Not only does this taste delicious, but it also adds a nice bit of protein to the dish.
Butter: Finally, add half a cup (1 stick) of melted butter. This is going to create the most delicious flavor.
Toppings: When it comes to topping this recipe, you can do so with extra butter or a honey drizzle. Yes, you can also use both toppings!

Tools needed to make this jiffy corn pudding recipe

To make this jiffy corn casserole recipe, you will need a handful of kitchen tools. Before you begin, gather the following:

9x9 casserole dish
Nonstick spray or butter (to grease the dish)
Large mixing bowl
Whisk
Stirring utensil
Measuring cups: ½ cup, ⅔ cup

How to make corn pudding casserole

When a recipe only requires one mixing bowl, I take that as a sign that it's going to be a simple prep process! That rings true with this dish.

To begin, preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x9 baking dish.

Then, beat the egg in a large bowl.

Add the Jiffy mix, whole kernel corn, creamed corn, Greek yogurt, and melted butter. Stir until everything is combined.

Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the pudding is light golden brown on top.

Serve with more butter and/or a drizzle of honey!

Enjoy your pudding alongside anything from perfect grilled chicken breasts or ham to grilled flank steak or sheet pan turkey meatloaf!

Storing leftovers

Leftover Jiffy corn pudding should be transferred to an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator. Be sure to stick it in the fridge before it sits out for too long. For the best flavor, enjoy it within about 3 days. It's easiest to reheat leftovers in the microwave, though they can of course be reheated in the oven as well.

Recipe Tips

Can I use frozen corn?

Frozen corn can work in this recipe if it's thawed before using. However, I do recommend sticking to canned corn for the best results.

What is the difference between cornbread and corn pudding?

While cornbread has an almost cake-like texture, corn pudding is much lighter and has more of a soufflé texture. They both taste delicious, but you may find that corn pudding is even richer.

Is corn pudding supposed to be jiggly?

Yes, corn pudding should have a slight jiggle. You’ll know it’s done when the edges are golden brown and the center of the baking dish is maybe a tad jiggly. Although, while the center may be jiggly, a toothpick should still come out clean.

What is another name for corn pudding?

Corn pudding has many different name variations including Jiffy corn pudding, corn pudding casserole, and even just corn casserole. You may also hear it referred to as corn soufflé or corn pudding soufflé.
