Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (grated, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and heated through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour until smooth and well combined. This will be your thickening mixture.
Pour the cream mixture into the skillet with the corn and stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Add the cream cheese to the skillet in small pieces and stir until completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Season the creamed corn with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Continue to simmer gently for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top of the creamed corn for added flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the creamed corn warm. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or additional parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
