Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with Kroger® Unsalted Butter.
2. Step
In a large bowl, whisk together the creamed corn, kernel corn, corn muffin mix, sour cream, ½ teaspoon salt, the cumin, chili powder, and 8 tablespoons melted Kroger® Unsalted Butter until smooth. Fold in the chopped jalapeño.
3. Step
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
4. Step
Remove a small chipotle pepper from the sauce and place in a small blender. Add 1½ tablespoons of adobo sauce, the remaining 2 tablespoons melted Kroger® Unsalted Butter, the honey, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth.
5. Step
Drizzle the chipotle sauce over the top of the corn pudding, then use a butter knife to swirl the sauce into the top of the pudding.
6. Step
Gently press the sliced jalapeños, if using, onto the surface of the pudding.
7. Step
Transfer the pudding to the oven and bake for 80–90 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
