Description

This show-stopping dish features a creamy corn and sage pudding infused with the smoky heat of chipotle chilies, baked directly inside hollowed-out miniature pumpkins. The natural sweetness of the pumpkin flesh balances the savory, spicy filling, creating a unique texture that is both comforting and elegant. While technically a savory custard, it serves beautifully as a rich side dish or a light main course for autumn gatherings. The presentation is stunning, making it perfect for Thanksgiving dinners or cozy fall dinners. It requires a bit of prep to steam and scoop the pumpkins, but the result is a memorable, homemade treat that feels luxurious yet approachable.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Steam the miniature pumpkins until tender, then carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin shell, and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine the corn kernels, chopped onion, minced fresh sage, butter, and milk.
  3. Finely mince the dried chipotle chili and add it to the corn mixture for a smoky kick.
  4. Whisk the eggs into the corn mixture until well blended and smooth.
  5. Season the mixture with salt to taste.
  6. Pour the corn custard mixture into the hollowed-out pumpkin shells, filling them about three-quarters full.
  7. Place the filled pumpkins in a baking dish and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the pumpkins.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the custard is set and the pumpkins are tender.
  9. Garnish each pumpkin with a sprig of fresh sage before serving.
