Cornbread pudding is a sweet, tender, and utterly indulgent corn casserole that is sure to be a family favorite. With the help of your Instant Pot, you can have a tasty side dish ready to eat in a flash.
One of my favorite restaurants, Blue Mesa, had a corn casserole that I loved. So, of course, they had to go out of business. Isn’t that how it always works?
After a few months of missing that tasty cornbread pudding, I went to the drawing board. After a few attempts, I created something to satisfy my cravings for one of my favorite side dishes.
What Is The Difference Between Corn Pudding and Cornbread?
As tasty as traditional cornbread can be, I like to add a little extra personality to just about any dish I create.
Think of this Mexican Cornbread Pudding as cornbread on steroids. It has all of the same delicious flavors as the original, but I added creamed corn and chiles to make it soft and creamy with a tiny kick of spice.
Why Make It In The Instant Pot?
Making cornbread pudding in the Instant Pot isn’t a huge time saver, so you may wonder why you would bother using the Instant Pot to make it.
Well, there are a few reasons I like to use my pressure cooker instead of the oven to prepare it.
- The texture is different. Since the cornbread is steamed, it is more moist than if you were to bake it.
- It keeps my kitchen cool. I live in Texas, where it gets HOT. The less I can heat up my kitchen by turning on the oven, the better.
- I can multitask. Making this in the Instant Pot frees up my oven to cook other dishes at the same time that might not need the same amount of time or temperature.
How Do You Make Cornbread Pudding?
- Mix all ingredients together and pour into a greased springform pan.
- Cover the top of the pan with foil.
- Pour 2 cups of water into your Instant Pot, and place a trivet on top.
- Cook at High Pressure for 25 minutes, and allow it to release steam naturally.
- Let the cornbread pudding cool to room temperature, and run a knife along the edges to separate the pudding from the sides of the pan.
- Undo the springform pan and serve.
I wasn’t really sure if it was done because when I inserted a chopstick into it, it came away a little wet, but I figured it would firm up as it stood, and it absolutely did.
Just wait until the Tex Mex Corn Pudding cools a little before you un-mold. The final consistency is sweet, slightly soft, and very satisfying.
How To Make This Recipe Dairy Free
I’m used to baking with milk and egg but I was trying to keep this vegetarian so I did it with milk and agar-agar. You could definitely substitute soy milk or any non-dairy milk in making this.

How Long Does Mexican Corn Pudding Last?
Due to the high moisture content in this cornbread pudding, it is best enjoyed within two to three days of making it. The longer it sits, the soggier it will get.
If you have leftovers, store them in an air-tight food storage container and reheat in your air fryer at 350F for 3 minutes for the best results.

What Can I Use Instead Of Pudding Mix?
Okay, I know this sounds weird. The secret to this keto pudding is entirely in the quality of the cocoa you use. I’d highly recommend deep, dark cocoa powder with no fillers or additives. Make sure you aren’t using low-quality chocolate or not enough of it. Be sure to taste it before you let it set in the fridge, so you can adjust flavors as needed.
You thought the chocolate part sounded weird? How about this? We added tofu. Yep, this recipe uses Tofu. It has a delightfully creamy texture with a very muted flavor that makes it easy to become deliciously chocolatey.
What Puddings Can I Eat On Keto?
Pudding is one of those sweet cravings that is hard to kick without getting your hands on the real thing.
Many people would assume grabbing premade Sugar Free Pudding or preparing a Sugar Free Jello Pudding package would be low carb. After all, we’re trying to avoid sugar on a low carb diet, right?
While sugar is one of the things you need to kick when you’re living a ketogenic lifestyle, there are more hidden things that can add carbs to your low carb treats. Unfortunately, there are carbs in cornstarch. Since this is what is used to thicken the pudding mix, it makes it a less than a stellar match for a low carb lifestyle.
How To Make Sugar Free Pudding
- Add - Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Mix - Combine all ingredients.
- Taste - Add more cocoa powder or sugar alternative to taste.
- Pour - Pour mixture into 6-8 individual containers.
- Chill - let cool for 6 hours or until fully set.
