Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet corn (frozen or canned, drained)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons optional chopped fresh chives or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large saucepan or deep skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the cream cheese to the pan in small chunks, stirring constantly until the cream cheese is fully softened and starts to melt.
Pour in the milk gradually, stirring to combine it with the melted cream cheese to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the sugar, salt, and black pepper to the sauce, stirring to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the sweet corn. If using frozen corn, ensure it is fully thawed before adding to the pan.
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the corn is heated through and the sauce is thickened.
Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the Cream Cheese Corn to a serving dish.
Top with optional chopped fresh chives or parsley for added color and freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, comforting side dish!
