Corn soufflé is one of the easiest and tastiest sides you can make. I pretty much love all things corn, but corn soufflé is one that I can never pass up.

Corn Is More Than a Staple in Honduras, It’s a Way of Life
Corn is pretty huge in Honduras and we make so many delicious things from it. We even have restaurants dedicated solely to corn!!
What?!?
I may have to do a corn recipe series in order to share all the yumminess you can make from it!! But for now, corn soufflé it is!
Making This Corn Soufflé Was One of My First Experiences Cooking
My mom and my sister have been making corn soufflé forever and it’s one of the first recipes I learned back when I was attempting to learn how to cook.
This Corn Soufflé Has Been Perfected From Years of Tweaking
My sister and my mom have both tweaked, changed and perfected the recipe so many times throughout the years and we now all make this final version of our corn soufflé. (Until my sister decides to try some other amazing way that will make it better!)
So without further ado, I give you my family’s recipe for corn soufflé!

Making Corn Soufflé
My recipe really is no-fail since all it involves is throwing a bunch of ingredients in a blender, pouring them into a baking dish, and waiting for the sweet deliciousness to be done in the oven!
Gather Your Ingredients
You’ll need some simple ingredients which you probably already have on hand. See the recipe below for the full list.
Blend All the Ingredients
You place all your ingredients in a blender and mix!
Pour into a Greased Baking Dish
Once everything has been mixed well, pour the mixture into a greased 8×11.5 (2 qt) baking dish.
Bake Until Golden on Top
Bake at 350 for approximately 55 minutes or until this beautiful golden color is achieved.
Allow to Cool
Allow your corn soufflé to cool before cutting it. Make sure you use a good, sharp knife in order to get a clean cut.
Serve and Enjoy Your Corn Soufflé
I personally love topping mine with my homemade Honduran Mantequilla Rala. It’s our version of sour cream but I hate to compare it to sour cream since it’s oh so much tastier and better.
I’ve been lucky to also find a pretty good equivalent at HEB. Just a dollop of this on my corn soufflé and it’s perfection!

Can I prepare the day before and bake the day of serving?
It’s so quick to prepare, I would do it the same day. Alternatively, I’ve made it fully the day before and then microwaved individual pieces when ready p serve. Thanks for stopping by!
SO much better than the recipe with the boxed cornbread! This souffle’ will definitely be on our Easter luncheon table!!
So happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by!
Looks delicious !
Can the souffle be made in cupcake molds?
Hi Maria! I haven’t tried that but I bet it would be fine. You’ll just have to keep an eye on them because the cooking time will be different. Thanks for stopping by!
The BEST and the easiest!! Thank you so much for this recipe!! I get so tired of the typical jiffy corn muffin mix corn pudding (and all the slight but endless variations) so I was looking for something interesting and different, and this is IT!! In case anyone wants to know it is NOT Too sweet in the slightest! Flavor is sublime, texture smooth and delicate, so easy to prepare. I will be making this again and again!! ❤❤❤❤
Hi Toni! So happy you loved it!! I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Wouldn’t let me give it 5 stars!!! Tried! This is heaven! Tried many recipes and this is crazy good! We have a lovely steakhouse in Scottsdale that makes a sweet corn soufflé, this is as good! Thank you for sharing!
I’m so happy you loved it! Thanks for commenting!
If making a night prior , how long should I reheat ?
Thanks !
Hi Marissa! If you make it in advance, I recommend reheating individual pieces on each plate in the microwave. that’s what works best for me. Thanks for stopping by!
Giving it a shot
The soufflé turned out great I was light fluffy, tasty very easy recipe. The only comment is it was a bit too sweet. I’m wondering if you could substitute the sweetened condensed milk with just straight condensed milk and would another sweetener still be needed or noon at all.
Hi John! I’m glad you enjoyed it. There is only sweetened condensed milk. There is also evaporated milk, which may be what you’re thinking of, but that would not work as well. You can try adding less of the condensed milk to see if that makes it the perfect sweetness for you. Thanks for stopping by!
Do I drain both the whole kernel corn and the cream style corn? Or just the whole kernel corn. Thanks!
Hi David! Only drain the kernel corn. keep the can of cream corn whole. Enjoy!
Hi, looks wonderful and super easy, I was wondering can this be made the day night before, I have limited oven space Thanksgiving day?
Hi Evy! Yes, you can make it ahead of time! You can reheat it whole or use the microwave for individual squares. Thanks for stopping by!
Great to hear! Thanks for replying Valerie, I will definitely be making this corn soufflé for this year’s Thanksgiving.
I made this for Thanksgiving, and it was a huge hit. I followed the recipe to the letter, except I only blended about 1/3 of the corn kernels in with the creamed corn and other ingredients. I added the other 2/3 in after blending. It came out beautifully! Thank you for this lovely recipe that I suspect is going to become a new holiday tradition in our family!
Hi Paula! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting with your results!
