Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional garnish)
Instructions
Remove the corn kernels from the cob: Hold each ear of corn vertically over a cutting board and carefully slice downward with a sharp knife.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the flour over the corn and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth mixture.
Stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream thickens and the corn becomes tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For an extra touch of elegance, stir in grated Parmesan cheese before removing from heat.
Transfer the creamed corn to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot as a luxurious side dish for your favorite meals.
