Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Popping corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Pour the popcorn kernels into the pot, ensuring they form a single layer at the bottom. Cover the pot with a lid.
Step 3
Shake the pot occasionally to prevent the kernels from burning. Once the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 7
Pour the Alfredo sauce over the freshly popped popcorn, tossing gently to coat every kernel evenly.
Step 8
Transfer the popcorn to a large serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy Al Fredo's Popcorn while it’s warm!
