This Instant Pot corn casserole recipe is a must during the holidays. Cheesy creamed corn side dish made in a Ninja Foodi pressure cooker for Easter or Thanksgiving. Just like our Jiffy cream corn casserole recipe but steamed instead.
I’ve made this in the oven year after year but since I got this “fancy” pressure cooker I have been experimenting with my favorite dinners and side dishes. Yes of coures you can bake it but save room in your oven with this favorite side dish Instant Pot recipes.
Every Thanksgiving and Christmas my favorite side dish is my cream corn casserole recipe but that one is baked using Jiffy corn muffin mix. If I know my oven is going to be full it is better to bake in after making our pressure cooker turkey.
Ninja Foodi Corn Casserole
You can make it into a pretty bundt shaped cake like this or empty it immediately into a bowl and scoop some out. Either way this corn casserole pudding side dish is amazing! You can make it in as a Ninja Foodi recipe too.
I am working on more holiday side dish recipes than this and our Instant Pot corn so stay tuned and bookmark this page for later.
If it isn’t something you’ve had before you should make it in the oven or in your Instant Pot this year and try something new! I add a can of chiles too to amp up the flavor (but not make it spicy). Add more cheese if you want too! It’s so much more interesting than just offering long grain white rice as a side dish, and so much prettier made in a bundt pan too right??
Can you make corn casserole in a pressure cooker?
Yes!! We will show you how to do just that. Essentially it will be steamed to tender and fluffy without turning on your oven at all this time. A great option when you have a lot going on and not much space. Best pan is a tube pan so the middle doesn’t get undercooked and too soft.
Both recipes are a bit different as the pressure cooker version needs more “liquidy” type ingredients to turn out right but they are both delicious. The oven version turns out looser and is golden brown on the top a bit. This Instant Pot version is more dense but not as dry as air fryer cornbread.
I have made slow cooker corn casserole but I think the other 2 methods turn out best. The pressure cook function cooks it more evenly, and using this bundt pan helps make each piece the same consistency too.
You will want a 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot or pressure cooker for this one and a trivet to sit below the pan to keep it out of the water. A bit of foil
Made with Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
You are going to want to start with a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix, other cornbread mix could be used but I have only used this one. Makes it super easy to start with this but could use homemade.
I like to add a can of chiles (optional, I use mild, you can use hotter -but tasty). You can find these in mild or spicy.
Instead of kernels you are going to make this batter with canned cream corn that will make it creamy and super moist.
You are going to add some Sour cream or plain Greek Yogurt could be used as a substitute instead if you prefer, this will make it moist as well.
- Eggs added at room temperature
- Butter or dairy free plant based alternative
- Canned corn drained we use
- Cheddar cheese shredded
How to Bake in a Pressure Cooker
6 c. bundt pan without handles so it will fit in your 6 or 8 quart if you have a larger pot, either works. A mixing bowl is needed to fold all items together. I would spray the pan with non stick spray so it slides out when done too.
How Long to Cook Instant Pot Corn Pudding
This takes 45 minutes on high pressure, and done! Allowing a natural release at the end allows contents to solidify inside the pan. Taking the foil off immediately and allowing it to cool before flipping the pan over is important too if you want the bundt to stay in tact.
It’s a vegetarian option for those who need one, and just plain tasty. For that matter you should make our buttery Instant Pot brussel sprouts too. A dairy free plant based butter substitute can be used for either too.
Instant Pot Corn Casserole Recipe
Equipment
- 1 mini bundt pan 6 cup
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 c cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 can chopped chiles, (use any heat you like – mild doesn’t make it spicy, just gives flavor)
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 cup cream corn
- 1/2 stick butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp salt, optional
- 3/4 c sour cream, light is fine
- 1/2 c onion, diced, optional
Instructions
- Drain your can of kernel corn. Add to bowl. Add 1 cup of creamed corn as is in the can too.
- Shred your cheese, dice your onion, melt your butter, whip your eggs, and add everything to a large bowl. Mix well…it will be lumpy.
- Spray inside of your bundt pan with non stick spray. Pour corn casserole mixture into pan (I use all but about 1 cup of mixture as to not fill it to the very top, need a little room between top of mix and tinfoil. Cover with tinfoil.
- Pour 2 cups of water into your Instant Pot. Put your trivet inside.
- Lower your bundt pan filled with your corn casserole mixture into your Instant pot on to your trivet (helpful if you make a sling to lower it in and take it out…watch video).
- Put lid on, close steam valve, and set to manual, pressure, high, for 45 minutes.
- Allow to naturally release steam when done.
- Remove foil and set on cooling rack until completely cool if you want to attempt to keep bundt in shape.
- If you want it quite warm when served just flip over into a bowl, mix just a bit and top with chives or green onion for garnish if you wish.
- Enjoy!

What size bundt pan do you use?
There is a link in the post showing you mine.
It is very frustrating for us Brits to read recipes which contain ingredients not available to us. I have never heard of instant corn pudding mix. Such a shame because I love the sound of this, sweetcorn being one of my favourite veggies.
However, I love my Instant Pot, and am constantly on the lookout for some tasty receipes, Thanks for posting.
It’s not really instant and you could use any sort of corn bread mix in a box.
Jiffy corn bread if just a brand. Any corn muffin mix should work.
The cornbread mix is just a mixture of wheat flour, cornmeal and a leavening agent. You could use polenta instead. Use 3/4 cup wheat flour, 3/4 cup polenta and 1 tsp baking powder.
This is amazing! I wanted a corn-type side dish for Easter and this did not disappoint. It was only my 4th try using my InstantPot and my prior two attempts (ribs and turkey breast) failed so I was feeling a little down about cooking in the ‘pot. I followed the recipe exactly – 45 min then NPR, which took another 25 min. It came out perfectly and I will be making it again. I didn’t have a bundt pan so I just used a round pan and when done, I mixed it up and served with a spoon. Didn’t look pretty but tasted amazing. Thank you!
I’m so glad you loved it too!!
Great recipe. Making it again for Easter. Thank you for sharing!
OH Yeah so glad you loved it too!!
I followed instructions, exact ingrediants, amounts and mine never cooked! 45min, valve closed, not new to the process. It looks the same coming out as it did going in. Thoughts?
If it never cooked at all then there must’ve been an issue with it not connecting properly. Check where the plug connects to the pot itself. If on high for 45 minutes any food would be hot and cooked for sure if pot is working properly.
What size can of corn?
I used the 15 ounce for both.
This says a cup of creamed corn. Did u use the whole 15 oz can?
No, just 1 cup of that can.
This cooks for 45 minutes in the Instant Pot? That seems too long.
My thoughts too. Unfortunately I didn’t notice it until I started mixing. Not sure how long to do it for now…. the timing seems all wrong. 15 mins to prep, 45 mins to cook, 33 mins total time? ?
I’ve made this several times. The 45 minutes is correct. I cook the left over mix, about 1 cup, in a bowl in my microwave for 4-5 min and it is so good as well.
45 minutes is accurate for this recipe. It is thick in the bundt pan and turns out perfectly moist using the directions and timing above.
What do you do with the leftover mixture?
It is only about a cup of mixture, I discarded it this time as it wasn’t enough to cook separately.
I cook it in a small bowl in the microwave for 4-5 min. It comes out delicious with a little crispy crust on top.
GREAT idea for that extra cup of mix!!
So how long and at what temp. would you cook in the oven? Would you still cover it with foil?
Link above has cream corn casserole directions for oven. Under top picture.
The oven version has different ingredients, e.g., more corn, Ritz crackers, no onion or sour cream and 3 cans of corn. Looks like two different recipes and imagine has to taste different? Is there a version for the oven with same ingredients as the instant pot?
I tried my original Ritz version in my IP twice and it just didn’t work as well as I would like so I altered things here and there giving it less dry ingredients and this was the perfect recipe. The difference is in the iP it is more dense and the oven is more like a casserole consistency with a hint of sweetness. Both are really yummy.
Can you make the over version in a Bundt pan and if so is the oven temp/cooking time different?
This is great for holidays, but I’m loving it for some end-of-summer comfort food to use up that comfort food. Yum! Looks great xx
