Oh my goodness! This tastes just like a sweet corn tamale, except in liquid or pudding form! And of course, without the hours of work! I know I'll regret having made this, as I can already imagine the tweaking that could be done (and the calories it would add!!!). Thank you for posting this keeper of a recipe, Mike! Now I can get my sweet tamale fix anytime there's sweet corn available! Made for CQ4.
