- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add them to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese begins to melt and coat the corn evenly.

Lower the heat to medium-low and let the corn simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken slightly.
