Creamy Corn Custard – This is Probably How They Serve Corn in Heaven

If you checked out my top ten list of Aspen Food & Wine highlights, you read about Christopher Kostow's impressive roasted corn custard with truffles and popcorn. Ever since that evening I've been craving the sweet, silky goodness of this extremely easy recipe.

Corn custard is a wonderful side dish for all kinds of meats. Since it is so soft and light, texturally, it makes a great foil for things like barbecue pork, grilled steaks, and fried fish.

In addition to being a beautiful side, I also love to use this recipe as a summery first course – maybe next to some crunchy greens, or even some roasted peppers. I hope you give this creamy corn custard a try soon.
