Seems like the ideal opportunity to experiment.....
I did a search, and came up with a recipe for a bread pudding that looks like you could substitute the cornbread for the french bread....
the results might be similar to a corn pudding, but with a bit more heft.
I linked the recipe below.
Let us know what you end up doing, since I love corn and bread pudding!

LOL- I once made a dessert corn bread pudding that I made up on the spot and...
it was a mixed ending. I used a dry-type of corn bread and pretty much made it like "regular" bread pudding but the corn bread kind of dissolved when it soaked up the custard. It tasted pretty darn good but the texture and look was bad.

Another idea for "dessert" cornbread.
I was raised that cornbread is not sweet. That said, if you ever tried the old Boston Market cornbread, it was like cake it was so sweet and I absolutely hated it and would ask for a slice of their sandwich bread. Of course every so often when i got hom, I found the dreaded sweet cornbread. So one time instead of feeding it to the birds, I decided to treat it as dessert. I whipped up a chocolate frosting and frosted the cornmeal cake and served it as dessert. It was delicious that way! LOL
Also, Alton Brown's recipe for pineapple upside down cake uses a sweet cornbread cake. I made this for thanksgiving last year and it was inhaled with not a crumb left over.
