Who knew how badly we needed cornbread pudding in our lives?
Cornbread was a staple at Thanksgiving for me growing up. Cornbread stuffing or dressing, cornbread muffins, and oddly enough Cornbread Pudding. The first time I had it, my aunt made it and brought it to our Thanksgiving of 40 of our closest family - yes...40 people. I was skeptical at first, which is surprising, because I LOVE everything corn. But then I tasted it, and was blown away.
Sweet and creamy, with whole corn kernels throughout, it is like a dream come true.
I was recently talking about this recipe with a friend, and had honestly forgotten about it. Once I got my hands on a recipe, I wanted to play around with it a bit to make sure the taste and texture was exactly what my tastebuds were craving. Cream cheese, brown sugar, and honey, gave me everything I needed. The creaminess, the subtle sweetness - everything. I added a bit of lemon thyme on top for decoration, and then realized it added a perfect subtle herb note that took the dish to the next level.
