This vegan corn casserole is extremely comforting and satisfying. It's rich, creamy and 100% plant-based. The sweet corn gives the dish its characteristic sweetness, while the addition of jalapeños adds a contrasting spicy kick. I’ve also included nutritional yeast to impart a cheesy flavor and lots of garlic to round out the sweetness. Serve it with a side of fresh greens at Thanksgiving or Christmas alongside other classics!

Cooling: Let the casserole rest before serving, which helps the center set.
