Combine corn and ¼ cup of half-and-half in a blender. Process into thick puree, scraping down sides of container. Add remaining half-and-half, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Process until well combined.

Bake until pudding is set all the way to center (check with a paring knife), about 50 to 60 minutes. (Note: If top of pudding is getting too brown, cover loosely with a piece of foil).
Enjoy immediately.
