Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh corn kernels (about 4 large ears of corn)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Shuck the ears of corn, removing the husk and silk. Using a sharp knife, cut the corn kernels from the cob, ensuring not to cut too deep into the cob. Measure out 3 cups of kernels and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until bubbling. Add the corn kernels and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened slightly.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the corn and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and taste; adjust seasoning as needed.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the corn to become tender.
If desired, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish for barbecues, holiday meals, or weeknight dinners. Enjoy!
