Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn or frozen, thawed)
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the corn by cutting kernels off the fresh ears of corn, or measure out frozen and thawed kernels.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and slightly foamy.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a light roux. The mixture should look golden and bubbly.
Pour in the heavy cream and whisk until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly in the cream mixture.
Sprinkle in the sugar, salt, and black pepper, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the mixture to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream thickens and the corn is tender and golden.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or black pepper to taste.
If desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy as a side dish or accompaniment to your favorite meal.
