This versatile dish is smooth, lightly sweet, and customizable to your taste preferences.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • Cream Cheese (plant-based) – 8 oz, softened
  • Eggs – 2 large
  • Milk (plant-based) – 1 cup
  • Grape Juice – 1/4 cup
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural) – 1 tbsp
  • Butter (plant-based) – 1/4 cup, melted

Dry Ingredients

  • Yellow Cornbread Mix – 1 cup
  • Onion Powder (natural) – 1 tsp
  • Natural Gelling Agent – 1 tsp

Add-ins

  • Corn Kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed if frozen) – 1 1/2 cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a casserole dish to ensure easy removal and a lovely golden crust.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese (plant-based) until smooth. Add eggs, plant-based milk, grape juice, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and melted plant-based butter. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the yellow cornbread mix, onion powder (natural), and natural gelling agent. This mixture provides structure and seasoning for the casserole.
  4. Fold in Corn Kernels: Gently fold the corn kernels into the wet ingredients. Then gradually add the dry ingredient mixture. Stir gently until everything is thoroughly incorporated, forming a creamy yet textured batter.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Set: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 10 to 15 minutes after baking. This helps it set further and makes slicing easier. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality frozen corn for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Bring cream cheese (plant-based) and eggs to room temperature before mixing for smooth batter.
  • Stir gently to avoid toughening the texture; avoid overmixing.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick near edges and center as oven temperatures vary.
  • Allow the casserole to rest after baking to firm up and enhance flavors.
